In kindergarten math, students begin their adventure by exploring pre-numerical concepts. They
develop the concept of number by counting, drawing, writing and ordering numbers. Along the way,
they realize that addition is all about bringing things together, adding excitement to their
mathematical adventure. Students are also engaged in units of study that integrate science and
social studies in a literacy-richenvironment. Children construct their knowledge and understanding
of the world by interacting with otherpeople and with the surrounding environment. They explore
trees, weather, animals and materials in our world by experimenting with hands-on science
extensions.

life skills, consumer skills and thinking skills they need to maintain and achieve good health.
