Welcome To
Mrs. Smith’s Kindergarten Class My name is Victoria Smith, and I am delighted to be your child’s teacher this year. Kindergarten is a time of new beginnings, of making friends, and of learning lots of new things each and every day. This is my sixth year with Bakersfield City School District, and the first year that we have had an extended-day kindergarten. Our days and weeks will be filled with many wonderful experiences and opportunities for learning and growing. We will learn all about letters and sounds this year, and will be doing lots of writing activities, too. The children are always proud of the stories and books they create and are anxious to share their new skills. Families can help at home by reading to and with their child daily, and encouraging them to write and draw. We will also be learning all about numbers, building on important math concepts including sorting, counting, graphing, classifying, patterns, time and money, measurement, and addition and subtraction.

  • Teacher Read Aloud
    Every day the teacher reads rich literature that compliments the theme. The purpose of the Teacher Read Aloud is to:
    • Build interest and motivation for reading and learning to read Introduce the concepts of

    Kindergarten is the beginning process of a child's journey towards becoming a life long learner. Students will begin this life long journey by learning academic as well as social skills that are necessary in moving them towards becoming independent learners. The teacher will achieve these goals by planning, implementing and guiding lessons that will help to develop these important life skills as learners. Parental support is also a key factor in the success of a child's development in moving the child towards becoming an independent life long learner. Together, parents and teachers can begin the first step in helping children begin their journey in becoming independent life long learners.
    Language Arts: Houghton Mifflin - A Legacy of Literacy
    The kindergarten classroom reflects relevant teaching and learning to meet the demands of this ever-changing world. The curriculum incorporates all the language processes (speaking, listening, reading and writing) in a meaningful context to ensure a balanced literacy approach that values purposeful reading and writing.

    Kindergarten Every student is a unique individual, develops at their own pace, and exhibits a range of abilities, interests, and needs. Our developmentally- appropriate, child-centered Kindergarten curriculum focuses on the “whole” child and his/her social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. The skills imbedded in the curriculum are integrated throughout all of the disciplines and provide multiple opportunities for the students to develop foundation skills for life-long learning.
    Social and Emotional Development
    Activities for the social and emotional growth provide for interacting, sharing, cooperating, discussing and other social behaviors which are modeled and nurtured. The students will:
    · Develop a positive self-image
    · Learn to appreciate the uniqueness of others
    · Display appropriate behaviors for a variety of settings
    · Be encouraged to participate in new experiences · Take an active role in their learning · Develop relationships of mutual respect Motor and Kinesthetic Development The Kindergarten program integrates the development of motor skills into all areas of the curriculum. Activities such as cutting, drawing, lacing/stringing, running, jumping, skipping and participating in a variety of games help to strengthen hand-eye coordination and large and small muscle control. The students will:

    Kindergarten

    First Grade
    Second Grade ... Summer Adventures Kindergarten Language Arts
    The Kindergarten Language Arts program is designed to balance the needs of the students as they learn to "unlock" the code of the written word with their innate excitement for learning. Working in small groups, the children visit various centers during the course of a week - reading, writing and completing art activities that are all integrated into a single topic. Phonics instruction provides the foundation as students learn the various letters and their sounds using a multi-modal approach. For example, they learn that "P" is a lip popper. Students then practice their newly acquired skills reading literature books that are selected because they tie into the thematic unit. Students learn to utilize context and pictorial clues to enhance their comprehension because reading is much more than just decoding. Our goal throughout the Lower Division is to teach children not only to learn to read, but to read to learn.
    Experiencing Language
    Language experience stories consist of retelling and recording the child's own language. Through the use of journals and various creative writing activities, the children have many opportunities to practice using written language. At the beginning of the year many children may use "Kindergarten" or inventive spelling to tell their tales, but as the year progresses they begin to apply the skills they have learned. D'Nealian handwriting skills are also reinforced along with proper spacing and punctuation.

    Listening to and reading stories, songs and poems, dictation of stories, writing, copying, and the creation of original storybooks support emerging literacy. The use of sound spelling encourages the students to take risks and become writers. The young students learn to read by writing. Counting, sorting, and using math manipulatives helps the children solve problems. For the Kindergarten student, a hands-on approach to learning is most effective. Children are taught and assessed as individual son their own continuum of learning. Progress becomes a personal journey for each child. SCIENCE In Pre-K through Grade 4 the Science program aims to build upon a student's natural curiosity about her world. The curriculum introduces students to the early tenets of the scientific method and connects the students' observations and findings with their daily lives. The Science curriculum in grades Pre-K - 4 is based on a co-operative learning format which sees the study of science as a way of knowing, technology as a way of doing, and health as a way of being. The Lower School Science program is based on inspiring a life-long love of science while teaching specific science skills and the use of scientific equipment in a hands-on and active approach. The program fosters environmental awareness and responsibility. Lower School Science prepares students for Middle School Science classes. Cooperative learning is an integral feature of the program. In class, students work in teams of three to four with team jobs and tasks shared by all team members. Classes meet in the Science Lab with the Lower School Science specialist.

Attendance is important in Kindergarten, as most of our activities are hands on, interactive learning activities. It is difficult for absent children to make up these learning experiences. Our Kindergarten class has 2 teachers and usually has 22 students.
    8:45-9:15 Journal Time
    Children write in journals and do reading and free writing activities when finished. Journal writing begins in September as dictation and progresses through the months to independent writing. Most children are writing short sentences by June using a combination of sight words, phonetic spelling, and dictionaries.
    9:15 9:35 Circle Time
    Circle time activities are lead by both Miss Shaynee and a weekly calendar helper. Activities include calendar, pocket charts and poems, language arts songs, and instruction for the days activities.
    9:35-10:35 Rotations
    Children divide into groups and are rotated between three tables - math language arts , and self directed (children visit the self directed table each day, but they alternate between the math or language arts table every other day). The rotations last about 30 minutes each. Math and Language Arts are taught at a ratio of 1:5. Please see the appropriate pages for an explanation of these three tables.

Four-year-olds are provided with many experiences in listening and speaking, many opportunities to see how writing and reading are useful and exciting, and many pre-reading and pre-writing activities important for later skills development. Five-year-olds refine their understanding of letters and sounds, and how those sounds are blended to form words. They extend phonics into everyday use and sharpen sequencing, writing, reading and listening skills. Spanish language study in the K-5 program utilizes games, music, and art.

    • listen to and join in the reading of stories, songs, poems
      respond to stories through discussion, drama, art, music and movement develop and use lists, signs, messages work on projects collaboratively with other children dictate stories explore sounds, letters, words, etc. experiment with writing by drawing, copying, manipulating magnetic letters browse through self-selected books, magazines, newspapers

    Moorestown Township Public Schools Kindergarten Philosophy Written by: Phyllis Trachtenburg Elementary Reading Specialist Kindergarten children’s language development is enhanced through:
    • exposure to quality literature (nursery rhymes, poetry, classic tales) frequent demonstrations of proficient reading and writing by the teacher and other adults formal and informal practice
    songs...artwork...creative play) A key priority is to prepare children with the pre-reading foundation skills directly related to successful reading achievement in Grade One. Current research and practice point to four component concepts that, when mastered in kindergarten, insure successful reading in Grade One. They are: 1. Print Awareness
    • knowledge that people read the text, not just look at the pictures awareness of how to read a book – right side up, starting with the first page and continuing to the end; the left page is read first; text is read from left to right understands that words are units separated by spaces
    2. Knowledge of the Alphabet
