ELAOur curriculum comes from the Guaranteed Curriculum developed by the STPSB. Our series is McMillan – McGraw Hill. Readers are leveled. Accelerated Reader Program will begin mid October.
Sight Wordsalso known as High Frequency Words (HFW)
Sight words can comprise up to 75% of all reading at the kindergarten level.
The less a child struggles to read a word, the higher the level of reading comprehension.
They are expected to be spelled correctly.
DO NOT GET BEHIND WITH SIGHT WORDS.
MathOur math program is from the Guaranteed
Curriculum. We use a variety of methods to teach
numbers, number concepts (more/less), and logical thinking.
Our “Every Day Counts” calendar addresses many skills like place value, counting on, counting by 10’s, etc.

HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT YOUR CHILD’S KINDERGARTEN EXPERIENCE
Speak positively about learning.
Make sure your child understands that school is a priority. Homework is necessary in order to finish the year strong.
Be a role model of learning by reading, writing, conversations with your child, exposure to libraries, museums, historical sites, nature walks, and other quality events.
Volunteer at WES for any of our areas of need. Library and art love having moms and/or dads to help weekly. Library will have an orientation before volunteers start.
A little help goes a long way in school.
READ, READ, READ!
If you promise not to believe everythingthat your child says happens at school, I promise not to believe everything your child says happens at home.
