Kindergarten Classroom Guide and Course Catalog

Kindergarten students will receive instruction in Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. Science, History, Art, Physical Education, and electives such as Music and World Language will be based on the California Content Standards. Your coursework will consist of teacher assigned lessons using the K12 curriculum together with teacher-created instructional activities, and other learning activities as deemed appropriate for each student to achieve his/her academic potential. CAVA adheres to the minimum daily instructional time requirements recommended by the State of California. However, increased daily instructional time may be necessary to meet the individual needs of each student. All instructional time must be entered as attendance in the Online School management tools as well as be supported by work produced by the student and evaluated by the teacher.

Overview

This Classroom Guide includes an outline of the grade level learning objectives as well our classroom expectations, the behavior expected from all of CAVA students, and what you can expect from your CAVA teacher. Each school day, you will login to the online school, complete both online and offline lessons assigned by your teacher, attend assigned Class Connect sessions and submit requested work to your teacher. *Students with documented Individualized Education Plans (IEP) are given appropriate accommodations as specified in the IEP. Please feel free to contact me or contact the school’s Special Education department for more information. **Please refer to the 2019-2020 Parent-Student Handbook for your school to familiarize yourself with additional school-wide information, policies and procedures.

Attendance and Activity Students are expected to log into and complete assigned work daily. While the length of time that students spend working on assignments may vary, the expectation is that you will actively participate in at least 4-6 hours in academic instruction each school day with specific minimal requirements for Math, ELA and Physical Education, as follows:

http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/

• Math: 60 minutes daily, not including supplemental instruction (enrichment, remediation, etc.) • ELA: 120 minutes daily, not including supplemental instruct (enrichment, remediation, etc.) • P. E.: 20 minutes daily • History: As assigned by your teacher (approximately 120-180 minutes per week) • Science: As assigned by your teacher (approximately 120-180 minutes per week) • Electives: As assigned by your teacher (approximately 60-90 minutes per week)

Live Instruction

CAVA offers students many opportunities for learning. One such opportunity comes in the form of live instruction. Live instruction is assigned to students in all grade levels and is provided by a credentialed CAVA teacher. This is in conjunction with the instructional support that is being provided by the student’s Learning Coach. Each student’s individual schedule may vary depending on grade, assessment scores, teacher assignment etc. Note: English Language Arts (ELA) is comprised of multiple components that can vary from grade level to grade level. In addition to a potential calendar time, circle time, or group reading time, the following are components of CAVA’s Language Arts program. Kindergarten: Handwriting, Language Skills, Literature & Comprehension, Phonics

Kindergarten Grade Assignment Path- Quarter 1 Below is the standards-based path your teacher has created for your student. These are the lessons your child will be completing in Quarter 1. Primary resources for individualizing quarterly assignments are teacher assessment of students’ instructional needs and skill levels via formal and informal assessments, work evaluations, observations, etc.

KINDERGARTEN COURSE CATALOG

COURSE OVERVIEW This research-based course focuses on computational fluency, conceptual understanding, and problem-solving. The engaging course features new graphics, learning tools, and games; adaptive activities that help struggling students master concepts and skills before moving on; and more support for Learning Coaches to guide their students to success. The course introduces Kindergarten students to numbers through 30. Students learn through reading, writing, counting, comparing, ordering, adding, and subtracting. They experience problem solving and encounter early concepts in place value, time, length, weight, and capacity. They learn to gather and display simple data. Students also study two- and three-dimensional figures—they identify, sort, study patterns, and relate mathematical figures to objects within their environment.
