Language Arts
The Spring-Ford School District uses the Scott Foresman Reading series. Language activities are a priority in kindergarten. Through the utilization of literature books, class-made books, Big Books, puppets, tapes, poems, and an array of other activities, children will experience a language –rich environment daily. This setting provides children with the foundation to eventually become emergent readers.
In addition, kindergarten students receive explicit instruction in phonemic awareness and phonics. Each day activities are presented that assist young children in understanding the relationship between alphabetic symbols (letters) and sounds. Eventually children will utilize reading strategies to decode new words.
Writing
The writing program builds on what each child already knows. Writing begins with scribbles and proceeds to lines and circles, random strings of letters, words and spaces, and eventually sentences. You may hear these “terms” in school during the year…”pretend writing”, “inventive writing”, “phonemic writing”, or “book spelling writing”. Your children will be encouraged and applauded for all attempts and accomplishments in writing. Providing a risk-free environment is paramount to your children’s progress in writing.
Math
The Spring-Ford School District uses the Everyday Math Program. The program involves children in a variety of activities that create a foundation for mathematical understandings. Children manipulate concrete materials, such as blocks, coins, unifix cubes and pattern blocks, to form mathematical concepts. Children discover the world of math through sorting, classifying, patterning, measuring, graphing, and estimating. Literature selections will focus instruction on specific mathematical concepts.
Social Studies
In social studies the children learn about themselves, others and the world around them. The lessons are taught through literature, videos, projects and field trips. The topics include self and family, citizenship, famous people, community helpers and holidays.
Science
The Spring-Ford School District science units include the five senses, weather, sunshine and shadows, animal mothers and babies, and investigating water. Real objects, pictures, films, books, graphs, experiments and field trips are utilized to provide information and opportunities for children to explore, compare and experiment.
Computer
The Spring-Ford School District used a web based computer program called Odyssey. Kindergarten students work on the computer in a rotating schedule spending fifteen minutes a week working on math or reading activities.
Handwriting
The Palmer Handwriting method is used in the Spring-Ford schools. The children will do one formal letter printing paper each week with additional practice activities during the week.
Physical
Education and Library
Kindergarten students have a 30 minute Physical Education class each five day cycle followed by a 15 minute book exchange at the Library. In Physical Education class the students learn to throw, bounce and catch a ball. They practice skipping, hopping and rope jumping.
Music,
Drama and Art 
Children listen to music, sing songs , participate in rhythmic activities, and use rhythm instrument. They learn to appreciate music in a variety of ways.
Selected stories and rhymes are "brought to life" through dramatizations. These impromptu reenactments help children to internalize the language contained in the stories.
Creative art activities include drawing, painting, coloring, and cutting. Children manipulative a wide variety of materials to stimulate creativity. Individual expression and imagination are encouraged. Children will attend art class once every five day cycle.
