In the class, students start to develop good learning habits and positive self-esteem. Students are introduced to a more rigorous approach to inquisitive learning. They learn “how to learn”. They expand their vocabularies through and use more complex sentences to make connections and express themselves. Deeper understanding of concepts are facilitated through singing, telling and retelling stories, role playing and mini projects. They take a greater role in arts and crafts projects as they gain better control of small objects like crayons and scissors. They also develop more of their self-help skills such as personal care, managing their belongings, and dressing themselves. Children begin to learn the concept of letters and sounds, colors, shapes and objects, numbers and counting. They participate more in group activities and practice the important skills of negotiating conflicts and expressing their feelings appropriately.
