CORE ROTATION

AGES 5-7
Core Rotation is the rotation of classes for children in the Core Phase of learning.

TIME:  Afternoon

READING ADVENTURES
​Core Phase (Ages 5-7)

Get ready to embark with us.  On an adventure we'll go.  We will travel through books to see the unknown.  We will soar high and far.  There is so much to see.  The sky is the limit . . . on this reading journey.  

Gathered around our classroom hot air balloon, we will start our class each week getting ready for our journey by first reading our book (or books) for that week.  That will set our theme for the class as we cover the basics of the alphabet, sight words, poetry, science, arts and crafts, fine motor, sensory, basic writing (letters, names, theme words), emotional intelligence, basic geography, and music.  We will cover different areas in that list using our themes from our books the entire class.  Some of the themes we will use this year are apples, seasons, farm, friendship, plants, animals, dinosaurs, transportation, bugs, safety (police/fire), and more!  Every now and then a surprise character from one of our books will visit, and we might have two possible field trips during the year (close by).  We will truly go on an adventure this year and might even learn and thing or two along the way.  More that anything, we hope to discover a love of books and the places they take you!

*We will be using curriculum from 5 in a Row, The Read Along Handbook, and other favorite books.

ADVENTURE LAB EXPLORERS
Core Phase (Ages 5-7)
