Welcome to Minnie Ruffin Elementary

 

Welcome to Kindergarten! My name is Ms. Julia Jason and I will be your child's Kindergarten teacher this year. There's an exciting year awaiting, designed to promote and enhance your child’s growth and development. This very important year promises to be one filled with discovery, fun and joy as your child works and plays in an environment that is loving, warm, safe and challenging.

 

The structure of daily activities is carefully planned to encourage independence, self confidence and group cooperation through large group, small group, one-on-one participation in a variety of hands-on and interactive experiences. The activities will incorporate instruction and skill reinforcement in reading readiness, mathematics, writing, science, social studies, music and physical education.

 

You will notice the focus of the curriculum will be the Amplify (CKLA) curriculum for Reading and it is composed of 2 components: Knowledge and Skills. The Eureka Math2 program focuses on counting and cardinality, two and three dimensional shapes, comparision, composition and decomposition, addition and subtraction and place value foundation. Last but not least, our Social Studies and Science curriculum will be CKLA and PhD Science. This curriculum is the core of our learning and these units of study will be used to extend across and connect with future grades. You will see your child's growth and continuity of his or her learning!

 

I am looking forward to working with you and your child to make this a successful year of kindergarten! Please feel free to contact me at school, should you have any questions and/or concerns regarding your child‘s kindergarten experience.
