Letter from the Chancellor:
The health and safety of all NYC Department of Education (DOE) students continues to be our first priority in the wake of the evolving situation around the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in New York City. There are a number of actions we have taken and many things you can do to keep our communities safe. The most important action you can take is to stay home if you are sick.
Please see the Letters from the Chancellor for additional information on what the schools are doing to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Reading:
Kindergarten students will be “reading for information”. In this unit, students will notice all of the details in their books and be encouraged to pull back after their reading to answer questions like: “What was this book about?” “What did it teach me?” Some examples of books are list books, concept books, pattern books and non-fiction books.
Writing:
Students will write many information books about lots of different topics that they love. Some topics can be action figures, a favorite movie or animals. In this unit, students will write from their experiences and/or from shared school experiences. They will also write facts about a topic they know to teach others.
Math:
Students will be learning addition and subtraction through simple story problems. We will also start to introduce the counting sequence to 100 and teen numbers.
Social Studies/Science:
Students will continue to learn about Our Community: What are maps and globes? How do we use maps and globes to represent different places? How can schools, communities or neighborhoods be represented and located on a map?
The students will observe the motion of the twelve solids over a bumpy, rough surface and the concept of friction is introduced. They will perform experiments reducing friction.
Students will work cooperatively with partners and the class group to learn Irish step dancing. We are continuing to learn about the music from around the world. The students are encouraged to bring in and share cultural music that your family enjoys.
This month, Kindergarten will be learning about the art element “shape” through the medium of collage. We will look at art from various cultures to recognize ways that artists use shapes in their art. Students will learn to tear paper shapes, cut with scissors, and arrange shapes into complex images.
This month, Kindergarteners will move on from our picture symbol system of reading music from Rhythm Band and begin to read rhythm notation. We will also learn the words musicians use to indicate different tempo speeds and volume levels.
In March, Kindergarten students will practice team play for basketball and begin learning soccer skills. Students need to have sneakers on the day their class has gym.
