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.

In literacy, we finished our nonfiction books!

In math, we worked on geometry! Depending on the unit, this will ranged from solid and flat shapes to parallel lines.

In science, we will worked on famous American inventors such as the Wright Brothers.

In literacy, we will begin our new units with fiction books. 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 Chicken Little.
  
• Mrs. Bassery is using the books Hide and Seek and The Wizard of Oz.
• Mrs. Banks is using the books Chicken Little and Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
• Ms. Turnbull is using the book Beauty and the Beast.

In math, we will be working on counting and cardinality! Depending on the unit, this ranges from counting to 10, building numbers to 10, or building numbers with base-10.

In social studies, we will be working on Georgia historical figures such as Jackie Robinson.

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!
