The TK class provides more opportunities for social-emotional and language development, including mathematics functions through interactive, hands-on activities, which helps students develop and build upon existing skills to be successful in kindergarten, and stimulating classroom centers, which focus on science, mathematics, writing, arts and crafts, community role play, etc.

We spoke with some of our Redwood City School District (RCSD) teachers about the Top 10 things they want to share about preparing for this new experience with your children. They had a lot to say!

Kindergarten is a time for students to get acclimated to school, make friends, and have fun learning while doing. Time in the classroom–and recess time–builds relationships, hones lifelong skills, and fosters a positive attitude toward learning. Fun hands-on enrichment activities in math and science, skill building in language arts, early digital literacy opportunities, and introductions to arts and music are provided to students as they learn the structures of the classroom.  

The parents of students in Redwood City School District (RCSD) are an enthusiastic bunch. They’re thrilled with the way their little loved ones learn – specifically, they credit the teachers, the schools’ respective cultures and value communication from teachers, staff and administration. 

The Makerspace is an expansion of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) opportunities that teachers provide in their classrooms. The space cultivates creative ways for students to design, experiment, build and invent as they engage in science, engineering, art and tinkering.
