Children learn best when their individual differences are taken into consideration.
In Language Arts, children begin developing a basic love and understanding of books, and show a preference for their favorites. They begin to label people and items, and start to ask for things. Children are encouraged to follow one step directions, and are asked to answer questions with one word answers and gestures.
During this year, children develop many new math skills. They begin to recognize colors and shapes, begin to understand positional words like up and down and begin to participate in activities involving cause and effect. Teachers create a classroom schedule which helps children predict daily routines.
Science and Social Studies encourage children to delve into the world around them. They begin to explore bodies in space by finding body parts. They use tools to investigate objects and recognize that they can move the objects they find. Through Social Studies, children understand one word rules and express emotions about problems which are then labeled by their teachers.

Children develop social skills by showing pleasure and excitement when learning new things, asking for similar activities to be repeated and beginning to amuse themselves independently. Children consistently respond to adult interactions by smiling and through imitation.
