We begin with the whole, the number 1, then divide it into 2 and 3 etc. They practice writing their numbers and letters in their books as well as cut and paste picture that begin with each letter. As we introduce the letters, we participate in a corresponding science activity, i.e. R is for rainbow, pictured here. Meanwhile, each number has a story to complement understanding, i.e., two of everything, the three bears, the five chinese brothers and so on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924ae219f7456571b022e1e/e295a8e9-5057-425c-8d0a-65c3f64e63c2/leprechaun+trap.jpg Natural Learners - Readers and Writers approx 1st-3rd grade This grouping is for children who have learned to recognized letters, sounds and numbers. We continue to build number sense in this group and are introduced to addition and subtraction operations as well as opportunities to multiply and divide in meaningful ways. Our literacy curriculum focuses on fairy tales around the world, we compare and contrast and create stem projects based on the current tale, for example, we may build a bridge for a billy goat or a zip line for goldidlocks to escape the bears. We also celebrate the holidays and will build a trap for a leprechaun in march, as seen in the picture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5924ae219f7456571b022e1e/e24078c3-e1ca-4adb-a37c-292cdfb38007/IMG_4748.MOV.jpg Natural Learners - Social Studies and Stem Enrichment Approx.
