Social Studies: Students will demonstrate knowledge in themes that focus on culture, individuals, groups, locations, scarcity, time, change, and continuity.

 Instructional Philosophy:

I believe that all students can learn.  I believe it is important to individually meet the needs of the student to maximize learning outcomes in the class. My instructional philosophy includes strategies that support whole group, small group, and independent learning.

Major Course Goals:

Math: Know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, work with numbers 11-19 to gain foundations for place value, identify and describe shapes, describe and compare measureable attributes, and become fluent in addition/subtraction.
