Welcome to Kindergarten

It is better to know how to learn than to know.

Pointers Run

             All About Kindergarten
                Our Curriculum



Writers' Workshop
Children will learn to illustrate and write in a daily journal.  Beginning writers will use beginning letters to label their drawings, and will move to writing sentences by the end of the year.


Math
We follow the Common Core Standards.  You can find them on the  Howard County Website.  We will teach each child through games and hands on activities.

Reading
Children will have daily experiences with listening, speaking, writing, and reading.  We assess each student frequently and provide appropriate challenges. 

Science and Engineering
Students will learn and explore the roles of scientists and engineers in solving real world problems. Units include exploring scientists vs engineers, weather, push - pull and relationships in ecosystems.

Social Studies
Social Studies is integrated with Language Arts in Kindergarten.  We will learn about building community, famous Americans, patriotic symbols, and beginning map skills.

Health
Students will be learning about school rules, making friends, safety rules and how to stay physically healthy.

Self-Selection
Students will have time to choose their own activities.  They will practice speaking, sharing, cooperation, taking turns, creating, acting out, and many more skills at this time.
