Freeman Cluster Curriculum

2018-2019 Curriculum

  • In September, we studied: International Peace Day with a calm day of crafts, affirmations, and selfless acts. We also studied families (all shapes and sizes), identified what lives on land, swims in the water, and flies in the air as well as identified various land and water formations: island/lake, cape/bay, and straight/isthmus to name a few. 
  • In October, we studied: the five senses, North America, apples, bats, and spiders. We tasted many different apples, look at bats, listen to a Native American story, smell pumpkins, and touch the skeleton of a bat. Children used descriptive vocabulary with each activity. ​
  • In November, we studied: European history and culture. Our lantern festival and Thanksgiving celebrations provided wonderful opportunities to learn a bit about Native Americans, Europeans that sailed to America, and how those groups of people lived.
  • In December, we studied: South America, winter celebrations around the world, and famous art and artists. We will also be working on many holiday crafts.
  • In January, we studied: Asia, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and begin to learn about various new year celebrations all around Asia. 
  • In February, we studied African animals, biomes, and culture. We will also study past presidents and introduce money in our math area.
  • In March, we studied: signs of spring, life cycles, Europe, and how to tell time.
