The students will be focusing on the letters Q through Z this quarter. They will be able to recognize the letter names and the sounds that match. They will be practicing writing the letters and recognizing the beginning sounds of words. Understanding how sounds are used in language is called phonemic awareness. It is a vital skill needed to learn how to read. The kindergarteners practice their phonemic skills every day through a variety of games.
Math
The students will be practicing counting. They will explore the concepts of large, small, more and fewer. They will focus on the sequence of numbers up to 30.
Science

Social Studies
Just in time for fall, the class will be learning about Native Americans and the Pilgrims. They will examine the culture and everyday life in the villages of both sets of people. Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, the American flag and the cornucopia will all be studied.
