There is a Curriculum Facilitator for Mathematics as well as for Language Arts. Our main task is to support teachers in implementing the curriculum. Literacy involves the ability to gain meaning from print and pictures. In kindergarten, students learn about concepts of print, the alphabet and learn to appreciate literature. Emphasis is on building strong foundations for the students to manipulate and learn about patterns of language.
First graders explore language through a variety of methods and materials.
Multi-sensory approaches take different learning styles into account and help reach all students. The development of decoding skills along with building sight word vocabulary help promote independent readers and writers. Second graders develop reading, writing, listening and speaking skills through directed and guided reading instruction. Emphasis is on building student independence through teaching strategies and building comprehension of print. We strive to meet the needs of each individual student.
