They will learn to recognize basic 2D shapes, how to sort by size and color, root count 1-10, the colors of the rainbow, opposites, and the names of familiar adults. They will learn to grasp a pencil correctly, use scissors correctly, count to 10, follow 2 step directions, listen to a story and retell the parts, trace along a straight and curved line, and tell a story. They will begin to draw a person with all body parts, participate in dramatic play, color a picture neatly, recognize uppercase letters, identify an AB pattern, and recognize positional words.
