Investigation Topic: Insects
Here at Goudy we are currently using a play based curriculum called Creative Curriculum. Every few weeks we investigate a topic that interests the children. During our investigation we will integrate play into the core learning domains: math, literacy, language, social emotional, science, social studies, and the arts.
Our class is beginning to learn about Insects. We hope this study will help children explore and appreciate recycling. We will learn important social studies and scientific concepts through first hand investigations.
Grading:
Pre-K uses the Teaching Strategies GOLD assessment system. TS GOLD uses a color band spectrum rating scale to place the child at their current developmental stage related to their age. We will assess the children using observations during play, group work, individual work, and benchmark testing. Two report cards will be distributed throughout the school year to update you on your child's progress. Make sure to check your child's backpack for work sent home.
