Kindergarten
Here at North Mahaska learning the basics of math, reading, and social skills are a primary focus in the kindergarten curriculum. Students have a variety of hands-on learning activities that focus on letter identification, reading emergent text, counting to 100, writing, and much more. Students may also receive additional learning opportunities in differentiated reading groups, special education, and Title I reading support. Parents are encouraged to keep connected through weekly newsletters, math home-links, and literacy home-to-school. The kindergarten program aims to teach students respect for everyone around them through classroom jobs and responsibilities, preparing them for life and the next level of learning.
