The SC classes use an adapted curriculum called enCore! There are a total of 36 units, and those units are banded by grade levels. All of our classes have multiple grade levels. Due to this, some classes might use two units simultaneously. For example, a class might use a unit for kindergarten through second and a different unit for grades third through fifth. Each unit consist of an adapted fiction book and an adapted nonfiction book. It takes six weeks to complete one full unit with three weeks per book.

Last week in literacy, we began working in our nonfiction books.

In math, we worked on numbers in base-10 and time! Numbers in base-10 will ranged from recognizing a number to building different numbers with base-10 blocks.

In science, we worked on the solar system!

In literacy, we finish our nonfiction unit. Each book has a variety of phonics built in. This changes every day. Depending on the book, the phonics could range from letter identification, letter sounds, counting syllables, or decoding words.

• Ms. Payne is using the book On the Farm.
  
• Mrs. Bassery is using the books Prepositions and Places in the Community.

In math, we will be working on money! This ranges from identifying money to counting money.

Cooking is an important life skill our students will need to learn. At home, you can use visual recipes to help your child begin learning these important skills!
