Play on Paper PLAY ON PAPER is a short booklet that introduces pre-kindergarten and entering kindergarten children to a number of reading readiness concepts. The first two pages are for information about the child and for a child to draw a picture of himself or herself. The next two pages are for recording information about the child's favorite stories: title, author, and reason why the story is liked. Then the first three letters of the alphabet are introduced, both upper and lower case, with opportunities for letter matching. This is followed by a page where the child can create a picture out of letter forms. A pull-out section, inserted between the "Cc" page and the letter picture page, contains the complete alphabet, upper and lower case, in a script commonly used in prereading and initial reading materials. The next section of the booklet provides practice in rhyming and matching words by their initial sounds. Completing the booklet are pages for practicing the numbers 0-9 and for dictating phrases or sentences to the heading "What I want to Learn in School." On the last page, continuing on to the inside of the back cover is a second alphabet chart. This one, however, includes directional arrows, indicating for each letter the correct stroke order for printing. See the Play on Paper Activity Booklet You can use Read Write Now! Materials at:

Literacy Activities for Kindergarten The following literacy activities are appropriate for children at the kindergarten level: Daily Reading Book Talk Use the PEER sequence to ask questions and facilitate discussion about stories. Extended Discourse Enrich children's vocabulary by providing pictures and discussions that relate to stories. Language Play Have the children sing songs that encourage language play. Children enjoy songs such as "Willaby Wallaby Woo" by Raffi and "The Name Game" by various children's artists. Play the game Snap! Play a listening game in which the children blend an onset and rhyme that you pronounce separately. Example: b...at, bat . When you first play the game, begin by using words that are in the same family, such as: hat cat fat . When the children become proficient at this type of activity, change it so that you keep the onset sound and change the rhyme: s...and sand s...un sun s...eal seal Writing Allow time for writing, and provide a well-stocked writing center.

28. AAG Kindergarten The writing program, based on a process writing approach, Literature, which is at the heart of all Language Arts activities, is drawn from awardwinning http://www.albanyacademyforgirls.org/lower/kindergarten.htm

Website Homepage LS Homepage LS News Early Childhood ... Library KINDERGARTEN 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 individuals on 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.

Required Areas of Study English Language Arts The aim of the English Language Arts Curricula, Kindergarten to Grade 12, is to graduate students who can use language confidently and effectively to meet life's various intellectual, social and vocational challenges. The focus of the English Language Arts program is on the development of the two interrelated domains of Oracy (listening and speaking) and Literacy (reading, writing and responding to literature). Language development is complemented through the supporting domains of Media Literacy, Educational Drama, Research and Presentation, and Computer Applications. The Kindergarten program works toward the development of the Emerging Phase foundational objectives of the English Language Arts Curriculum. Kindergarten students will demonstrate emerging: use of oral language to bring meaning to what they observe, feel, hear or read ability to listen to the ideas of others in small and large group situations recognition that what is said can be written and read interest in participating in the exploration of the patterns, sounds and rhymes of the English language during listening, speaking, and shared reading and writing activities

32. Kindergarten: Commonly Asked Questions self initiated writing activities, and teacher-directed fingerplays, Children arrive at kindergarten as emergent writers. Their writing may be in the http://www.sasked.gov.sk.ca/docs/kindergarten/kindques.html

Commonly Asked Questions Attempting to mould one child to be more like another is futile because children are like holidays in that each one is special in a unique way. Imagine the reaction to a remodelling campaign for Remembrance Day because it is too solemn and quiet and would improve by becoming more lustrous and joyful like Christmas! From: an anonymous Saskatchewan educator, 1994. Commonly Asked Questions This section includes answers to the questions Kindergarten teachers most commonly ask. The answers are based on the philosophy of this curriculum guide. Are worksheets an appropriate activity for Kindergarten students? It is not recommended that Kindergarten students complete worksheets as assignments. Research has shown that, in most cases, worksheets are too abstract for four- to six-year-olds; therefore, devoting time to them is not a wise investment in the education of our children. Rather, children should be involved in an activity-centred program which provides writing tools and paper at a variety of the activity centres, offers numerous concrete materials, and includes teacher-directed activities such as songs and fingerplays which meaningfully involve students of this age. How much time should be scheduled for the formal teaching of letters and numerals in Kindergarten?

Welcome to Kindergarten! This year we have over 160 kindergarten students who attend. Each day, the kindergarten team strives to meet the physical, social, emotional, AND cognitive needs of each and every child, which is quite a challenge in a half-day program. And due to half-day programming, our kindergartners are unable to attend music, art, or PE classes, so we also try to incorporate art, music and movement into our daily instructional package! Our 'big picture' goal is to ensure that all Rose Lane Kindergartners are afforded a high quality education, no matter which kindergarten section they attend. Our Kindergarten team meets several times a week to discuss a common grade level currruiculum plan. Our curriculum is aligned to meet and /or exceed Arizona standards for Kindergarten in the areas of reading, writing, math, social studies, and science. We tailor the delivery of lessons to meet the needs of the learners in each of our classrooms. WHEW! We are busy, but if you stop by to visit our classrooms, you'll see well orchestrated, very positive, and very productive learning happening! For those of you who aren't used to the energetic flow of a classroom filled with five and six year olds, we gently remind you - only plants grow silently! Here’s what our typical half-day kindergarten schedule looks like: OPENING: 10-15 Minutes Our school begins the day with schoolwide video announcements (morning only). Individual classes then participate in a variety of opening activities that include math, literacy, music, and movement. Songs, poems, chants, and counting games are all part of our daily learning routines.
