Music and Storytelling

Beginning in Primary, students will experience music and movement through storytelling and song. They are given opportunities to create, perform, respond, and connect skills to form a deeper understanding of the discipline. They have multiple chances to perform throughout the year which help to build their confidence and share their voices with our school community.

Physical Education Program

When students maintain adequate levels of physical fitness and make healthy choices, the conditions and opportunities for learning also increase. The Physical Education program in Lower School supports children to gain individual skills, as well as their knowledge of working as a team. The focus is on hand- and foot-eye coordination and building flexibility, strength and stamina. Lessons are planned to maximize the amount of time students are engaged in moderate to vigorous physical activity, and daily instruction supports growth over time. Once skills are learned, they are integrated into game situations that incorporate strategy, teamwork, cooperation, and positive sportsmanship.

With Phase III in progress, Phase IV pending fundraising, and Phase V on the horizon, we continue to make steady progress toward our campus transformation at the Upper School Campus.

Language Arts

The program in the Primary School provides the foundation for the robust English language arts curriculum at Gulliver, and supports students as they develop into confident readers, researchers, and efficient writers across all content areas.

Aligned with the Science of Reading, the comprehensive ELA program affords students the opportunity to continuously practice and develop strong listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. The program consists of a unique combination of elements from different research informed curricula, that emphasizes hallmarks of a structured early literacy program: oral language development, phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, listening comprehension.

In Senior Kindergarten, writing instruction prepares students to craft informational, opinion, and narrative pieces.

Teacher’s College Writing Workshop

Students develop their voice during Writing Workshop as they learn the writing process, including generating ideas, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. Writing Workshop begins with a mini-lesson, is followed by independent writing time, and concludes with sharing of student work. In SK, students begin by drawing pictures to tell stories, labeling the picture, and then writing words to describe the pictures. Students are encouraged to write the sounds they hear in words, as well as include sight words that are posted in the classroom.

Units throughout the year include:

Launching Writing Workshop
Show and Tell, includes saying more about what you see
Writing Stories for Readers, including writing about true stories
How-To Books
Persuasive
All About Books, including non-fiction writing

Handwriting Without Tears

Handwriting is taught using the Handwriting Without Tears program. Students develop their skills over time, focusing first on how to hold instruments properly, and then on size and spacing in order to form letters and write with ease. The curriculum uses hands-on, multisensory materials and was designed in such a way that it introduces shapes, numbers, and letters in an order that matches the progression of children’s developmental abilities so that it is easier for them to practice, learn, and remember. The program follows research of how children learn best and includes materials that address all styles of learning.

Early Numeracy

A mathematical foundation is established in PK and JK with interactive games, puzzles, block building, and manipulatives. Our morning meeting begins by reviewing the calendar and daily schedule, incorporating the gradual understanding of time, counting, and numeral recognition. Throughout these activities, children develop an understanding of numerals, shapes, patterns, measurement, sorting, one-to-one correspondence, categorizing, and logical thinking. Various manipulatives aid students in developing mathematical problem-solving skills as they count, sort, combine, and measure with pattern blocks, counters, and tangrams.

Early Literacy

Emergent literacy for PK and JK is integrated throughout our curriculum. Our print-rich environment helps children understand why and how print is used. Nursery rhymes and songs allow the children to hear the sounds of speech in our oral language. Active engagement with books and storytelling promote pre-literacy skills that build vocabulary, develop comprehension, and support higher levels of thinking. Over time, children learn to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through drawing and writing.

Creating a Classroom Community

Students in every grade spend the first six weeks of school understanding their role and learning how to be a positive member of their class and school community. Each class develops classroom expectations and discusses how to work together and problem solve when challenges arise, in alignment with the Responsive Classroom approach.

Every grade learns about various communities and the important role that the people, places and history play as they develop and change over time.

Through a project-based approach, students share and learn about themselves, their families, school, local, national and global communities. Performances, field trips, and real-life simulations support students’ growth throughout their units of study.
