Communications Skills:
Students are seen as unique and diverse individuals, therefore teachers plan their instruction based on each child's developmental needs and interests. Every child is given the opportunity to develop his/her learning through discovery. This approach allows each child to develop and expand the following: self worth, respect for the environment, enhancement of natural curiosity, ability to express thoughts and feelings, ability to make decisions and solve problems, capacity to use large and small muscles and the ability to live in harmony with others in the immediate and personal environment.

Mathematics:
One to one matching, sorting, and classifying of objects, and basic vocabulary are emphasized. Students model these basic concepts through the use of concrete objects. They are also introduced to time concepts, money, patterns and geometry.

Social Studies:
Students study themselves, their families and other familiar people and things. Emphasis is given to understanding that while each person is unique, there are certain basic needs common to all.

Science:
Students develop a self-awareness by asking questions and using their senses to investigate the natural world and changes within it. They make observations, compare, describe, and sort objects according to physical properties. Similarities and differences in animals and plants are explored as well as weather/seasonal patterns. Emphasis is placed on students using science process skills (classifying, communicating, etc.) and manipulating simple science equipment.

Health:
By the end of grade three students will be aware of the important health risks for their age group and will comprehend some of the major influences of their own good health, especially including the role of their own behaviors in regard to eating breakfast and balanced meals and getting adequate rest and exercise. They wil learn the value of using seat belts, responding to traffic, fire and other warning signs, sounds and symbols; how to avoid burns, how to get help in emergencies, and the impact of substances such as alcohol and tobacco on their lives. Students will be able to demonstrate ways in which they can manage stress, be responsible for their own behaviors, cope with fear and embarrassment, deal with aggression and bullying, resolve disputes, and respect the rights of others.

Physical Education:
Students will know and undestand the value of being physically fit, the types of activities that contribute to total fitness, have the ability to monitor resting, exercise and recovery heart rates, and know the components of health-related fitness. Students will be able to demonstrate fundamental motor skills, develop and refine creative movements, demonstrate manipulative skills, display appropriate behavior during social situations, and express an enjoyment for movement experiences.

Computer Education:
Students learn about computer technology through a variety of activities integrated into the communication skills, mathematics, social studies and science curriculums. They will identify, understand and use the components of a computer system, run prepared software and develop keyboarding and problem-solving skills using a computer.

Music:
Students learn to sing in tune, match pitches, sing in a voice range commensurate with their age, use different tempos, create rhythmic responses, create new sounds, develop simple musical terms and symbols, identify styles of music, recognize familiar melodies, and play rhythm and other instruments. Students also begin to develop aesthetic appreciation for music.

Visual Arts:
Students express ideas, images and feelings and become more aware of their physical environment. At this level, students begin to understand art concepts of line, texture, color, shape and form. Skills taught include visual perception, creative solutions, manual dexterity, recognition of order and communication with others.

Media Education:
K-2 students are exposed to a variety of activities in the library/media program under the guidance of certified instructional staff. Students develop good study habits and become familiar with the library/media center and its resources, including books and magazines, sound filmstrips, audio and video recordings, and computer software.
