ELA

We will begin with our first ELA and literacy unit with "All About Me". During this unit, we will be learning

about what makes us special, the different parts of our body, our five senses, and our basic needs. The

children will be introduced to Mat Man who is created using big lines, little lines, little curves and big curves.

Math

The first math module that we will  focus on will include recognizing number names, sorting objects by

categories, understanding simple patterns and counting to tell the number of objects.  We will use

apple and pumpkin manipulatives to address the above standards.  STEM activities such as building

an apple tree using straws, sticks, pom poms and toilet paper tubes and creating  a fence to fit the  5

little pumpkins.

Science
In science, we will learn about the new season of fall/autumn.  We will investigate apples and pumpkins throughout the month. 
 
Religion

For religion, we will be learning how God makes each of us special.  We will learn about saints, such as St. Francis of Assisi and St. Nicholas as we prepare for All Saints Day.  We will continue to learn

the Sign of the Cross, Our Father, and Bless Us O Lord (prayer before meals).


StB/OLH’s Pre-k classes follow the New York State Common Core Standards for ELA and Mathematics.
