They will also be working on reciting personal contact information including phone numbers, addresses and birthdays. Pre K 4 will have an introduction to Eureka Math curriculum.
Students will learn and explore basic concepts that relate to themselves and the world in which they live.

Physical development and socialization will be our focus on the playground and other large motor activities. We will stress sharing, taking turns, and activities such as running, jumping, galloping, hopping and skipping.
