Prekindergarten TEKS

There are ten domains within the prekindergarten TEKS. Those include: social and emotional development, language and communication, emergent literacy reading and writing, mathematics, science, social studies, fine arts, physical development and technology. These TEKS domains allow the young students to build on their cognitive and metacognitive skills. The PRE-K students must be able to learn how to understand their body, movements, and emotions in order to become a future learner. They must also learn how to communicate and understand direction. Without these basic knowledge principles, the students future learning skills may be at a low level.
A spiraling curriculum allows for basic information to repeated and revisited over and over again. The TEKS objective, "Child demonstrates basic understanding of following classroom routines." This TEK is repeated through out multiple domains to ensure the student learns the importance of classroom routines. This spiraling technique TEK appears for multiple years so that the students learn this basic principle for their future.
