Curriculum
Language Arts:
Kindergarten follows the Journey’s Reading Series, which is Common Core Aligned. Throughout the year, the children move from letter sound recognition to reading and writing sentences. We incorporate both a phonetic approach as well as building a sight word vocabulary.
Math:
The children acquire several key math skills during the year. Some of these skills include counting and number recognition, decomposing numbers, naming and distinguishing between 2D and 3D shapes, non-standard measurement, and fluently adding and subtracting within 5. The children are exposed to a variety of strategies to help aid their learning and retention.
Religion:
Kindergarten children learn we are all children of God and part of God’s family. They learn about God’s love, creation, and the life of Jesus.
Science:
Throughout the year the children participate in a variety of science projects, many of which implement the use of the scientific method.
