In Kindergarten at Webster we use the EngageNY prescribed curriculum for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. ELA is split into two strands, Skills and Listening & Learning. Skills focuses on the mechanics of reading, phonics, and writing. Listening & Learning combines content (Science and Social Studies) and literature to teach to the Speaking and Listening, Reading Informational Texts, and Reading Literature standards. In Math we use manipulatives and hands on learning to accomplish the learning of all of the Common Core standards for math.
