Although the followingis by no means a full discovery of all the learning, we have tried to give you an overview of the learning. 5 Kindergarten Children learn to read through the use of phonics. As soon as the short sounds of the vowels and thesounds for only three consonants are introduced, they are able to sound out their first words. In numbers, the students learn to count and recognize numbers 1 through 100. Additional concepts are taught up through the sum of 10, and beginning subtraction concepts are introduced.
Students also learn to work with telling time and money.
As children learn to recognize the letters of the alphabet, they also learn to write them. Later they learn to write blends, words, and sentences. First Grade Reading and Phonics are the subjects of greatest emphasis in the first grade curriculum. Students learn one spelling lesson per week from Spelling and Poetry. This also acquaints the students with a variey of good poetry through classroom recitation and memorization.
