Our Goals For Your Child To provide your child with the academic, social and emotional skills needed to progress to the first grade. To provide a safe, supportive, and fun classroom environment. To help your child develop a love of learning.

Curriculum English Language Arts Math Science Social Studies Religion

Reading (ELA) Scott Foresman Reading Street Recognize all of the letters of the alphabet in upper/lowercase forms. Learn sounds corresponding to consonants and vowels. Name the beginning, middle and ending consonant sounds in spoken words. Recognize rhyming words. Demonstrate phonemic awareness by clapping syllables. Read basic sight words and color words. Develop book and print awareness (identify the title, name of the author and the name of the illustrator). Indicate where a sentence starts and ends. Use left to right motion when reading. Recognize punctuation. Make predictions and use picture clues to read. Sequence a story with beginning, middle, and end. Use decoding skills (phonemic awareness) to read or attempt to read simple texts. Learn comprehension strategies: cause and effect, classify/categorize, compare and contrast, draw conclusions, and main idea. Develop an understanding of literacy genres: Realistic fiction, fantasy, fairy tale, fable, non-fiction (informational text).

Writing (ELA) Correctly grasp writing tools. Print upper and lowercase letters. Print first and last name. Use legible manuscript handwriting. Write from left to right and from top to bottom. Write simple sentences using sight words and phonics skills.

Math Sadlier-Oxford Progress in Mathematics Count to 100 by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s. Recognize and write numerals to 30. Show one to one correspondence to 20. Recognize patterns and identify plane and three dimensional shapes. Use graphs to gather information. Sort and measure simple objects. Solve simple addition and subtraction problems (addition within 10/subtraction within 5). Tell time to the hour. Recognize value of a penny, nickel dime, and quarter. Recite the days of the week and months of the year. Order events first, next, and last. Recognize place value- 100’s, 10’s, and 1’s as we count to the 100 th Day.

Science LabLearner Use all five senses to observe and experiment. Generate questions and predictions using observations. Collect, describe, organize, compare and record information. Use scientific tools to help gather data for observations and measurements. Seasons/Weather/Temperature Animals and their environments Plant and Animal Life Cycles

Social Studies Appreciate similarities and differences across individuals, families and traditions; understand different roles in communities. Recite personal information – birthday, phone number and address. Identify holidays and historical figures. Develop skills to understand maps, time lines, and calendar.

Religion Stories of God's Love RCL Benziger Understand that God loves us unconditionally. Know that God is the Holy Trinity- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Know that Jesus is the Son of God. Identify that Mary is the Mother of Jesus and our Mother too. Identify Joseph as Jesus’ earthly father. Recognize that Jesus, Mary and Joseph are the Holy Family and loved and cared for each other. Understand that God created us with feelings and we can share feelings with family and friends. Know that God wants us to be loving to our friends and family. Recognize that we should respect and care for God’s world. Know that we thank God in prayer at anytime or in any place. Know that prayer begins with the sign of the cross. Prayers - - Morning prayer, Grace, Afternoon Prayer, the Our Father, the Glory Be, and the Hail Mary

Social/Emotional Skills Listen attentively Raise hands and wait to speak. Act on instruction and repeat spoken directions. Engage in question and answer dialogue with classmates and teachers. Work as a team on projects/problem- solving and conflict resolution.

Classroom Expectations "We Show Great Bee-havior!" It is important that all of the children have the opportunity to learn and that no student keeps another student from being able to learn. We strive to provide a warm, safe and structured learning environment for the children in which we work as a team in our classroom. Everyone must work together to learn and to grow.

Class Rules The Four B’s “Bee” a good listener - Listen with eyes, ears, and body when others are speaking “Bee” kind to everyone -Treat others with respect and kindness “Bee” safe - Keep feet, hands, and objects to yourself “Bee” the best you can be

Behavior Plan Students will color the hive on the Bee-Havior Communication Form to show what kind of day they had. The form will be initialed by the teacher. I would ask that parents also initial the form so that we'll know that you have read it. Please feel free to add any comments that you would like.  Yellow: I needed a reminder/warning – 5 minutes off of recess  Red: I had a difficult day – 7 minutes off of recess Star Table Marble Jar (compliments) Rewards: We use Best "Bee"havior Punch Cards to reward positive behavior. Students will earn "punches" for great behavior! When they have earned all 20 "punches", they will get to "shop" through the Best "Bee"havior Catalog for a reward. Rewards include things such as being the teacher's assistant for the day, no homework for a night, free choice at centers, a cushion for your seat for the day, bring something from home for show n' tell, bring your favorite stuffed animal for the day, trade seats with a friend for the day, eat lunch with a friend from K-K etc.

Homework Each Monday a homework packet will be sent home and should be sent back to school on Friday morning. The weekly packet allows some freedom in the way that you complete the work; however, I do ask that you try to keep to the schedule and not try to rush through it all in one night. Each day lists nightly activities for Writing/Grammar and Reading. In addition, math pages will be assigned weekly. Family Projects Homework will be posted on our website. Please don’t hesitate to if you have a homework question.

Kindergarten Homework Rubric + Great Work!!! Good Job! Keep Trying! - Needs Improvement. Please Redo.

Communication Mrs. Mary Lofink Christ the Teacher Catholic School 2451 Frazer Rd. Newark, DE (302) x109 Class Website: The best way to stay connected to our class. It will be updated weekly! Students will have take-home folders in which we will put any notes or reminders as well as any of your child's work. This folder is to be returned each day and you may also use it to send us any notes as well.
