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.

For more information on our wonderful curriculum please visit the link below!

In literacy, we began our new units. We are working in our fiction books.

Last week in social studies we learned about different elected officials.

In math, we will worked on counting and cardinality. Please continue to practice counting at home.
