- Math: Addition and subtraction within 20, place value (tens and ones), measuring length, telling time to the hour and half-hour, and identifying basic shapes and their attributes
- Science: Observing and describing properties of objects, understanding basic weather and seasons, plants and animals and their needs, and beginning inquiry and investigation skills
- Social Studies: Community helpers, maps and geography basics, national holidays and symbols, and understanding rules and responsibilities
- Social-Emotional: Following classroom routines, working cooperatively, expressing feelings appropriately, and developing independence and self-regulation
