SC1 and SC2

Dr. Gitau and Mrs. Bassery use an adapted curriculum called enCore. There are 36 units; with each grade level having 6 units. Our classes have multiple grade levels, so we 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 and Nonfiction book. It takes six weeks to complete one full unit with three weeks per book.

Students learn Phonics and Language Arts skills in the areas of letters and sounds, vocabulary, sight words, word endings, such as “ing” and “ed”, prefixes and suffixes, and much more.

Learning activities for Math are provided in the areas of Counting and Cardinality, Operations & Algebraic Thinking, Measurement and Data, Time, Money, and Geometry.

Science and Social Studies activities follow grade level standards. Areas of learning include weather, living and nonliving, rules and laws, goods and services, and many more.
