JK Curriculum Document

Anita Pukite - Jr. Kindergarten

April Showers bring us May Flowers!

We are blossoming with our knowledge.

WELCOME, WELCOME to JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN!

Joyous May, Spring has sprung in earnest.  We are growing, growing, and soon JrK will fade into summer.

During class we will   

• follow directions
• work and play together
• read and write our ABC's
• count and compute
• identify community helpers
• practice good citizenship
• develop a broader understanding of the world around us
• inquire and experiment
   

Please take time to discuss each school day with your child. Ask open-ended questions and offer positive feed back. Review all work brought home and put aside a special place for displaying your child's work. Your constant interest will play an important part in your child's learning experience!
