BPK (Boston Public Kindergarten): Focus on Pre-K Curriculum
- The curriculum focuses on early reading, math, and social-emotional growth, with activities that support different learning styles.
- Throughout the year, children explore fun and engaging topics in social studies, science, and engineering that build upon each other as they advance through second grade, all aligned with state standards.
- In the classroom, children take part in both teacher-led and child-led activities, including art, building, drawing/writing, research, sensory discovery, and math. They also work on projects at the end of each unit, where they create and present their ideas, often involving their families.
- Instead of traditional homework, teachers will send home weekly Home Links—simple activities connected to classroom learning that invite families to participate.
