We follow the Common Core Curriculum. The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them.
Below are some links to the standards we will focus on while your child is in kindergarten as well as a description of how they will be graded.

Math: In math this year, we will use a spiraled system designed by WCPSS. Each time we begin a new unit, a letter will be sent home to parents explaining what we plan to teach and how. There are also videos demonstrating the method we teach in class embedded in these parent guides

Phonics: For phonics, we will use the Letterland series. Letterland is a phonics based approach to teaching reading, writing, and spelling. Letterland is an imaginary place where characters are transformed from plain black letter shapes into kid-friendly pictograms. All the Letterlanders have stories that explain letters, sounds and shapes, as well as other phonics facts.
Below you can find an explanation of the Letterlanders and their "action tricks".
