Learn By Doing

SDC Fine Arts Academy uses a language arts program based around well-known, beautifully illustrated stories to give students the foundation they need when they begin formal reading instruction. Our arithmetic instruction will include activities and lessons in:

  • Number sense-counting, sequencing, comparing numbers of objects, one-to-one correlation, and counting to determine quantity.
  • Computation-beginning addition and subtraction
  • Algebra and math functions including sorting, comparing, and patterning
  • Geometry-recognizing and describing shapes
  • Measurement-using standard and non-standard units
  • Problem solving

Science lessons will be centered around nature and scientific methods of predicting, exploring, testing observations, and investigating. Students will learn using developmentally appropriate tools like magnets, balances, magnifying glasses, mirrors, rulers, and probes.
