Language Arts

While in kindergarten, your child will learn to read through the SRA Reading and Language programs.  Phonics is the first step that launches a child into the world of reading. We teach our students the phonetic (or spoken) value of letters, letter combinations, and syllables. Learning to read is not the only goal for our kindergarten students, but it is what most children want to learn more than anything else when they begin school. Reading is learned most easily when taught in a systematic way. Through this process of incremental development and continual practice and review, your child will experience success every day.

Science and Health Units

Our science and health curriculum cover engaging topics that allow us to use hands-on activities as well as whole group and small group instruction. The focus areas include, Five Senses, Animals, Plants, Weather and Seasons, Objects Around Us, and Investigating Water. We also strive to challenge our students with higher level questioning to develop a deeper level of understanding.

Social Studies Units

The social studies curriculum focuses on teaching children to make connections between themselves and their community. We emphasize themes and holiday celebrations because they engage children and provide opportunities for children to connect learning to previous knowledge. Some of our themes are All About Me, Community Helpers, American Symbols,  Neighborhoods, Maps, and Holiday Traditions of the World. Holidays include Labor Day, Veteren's Day, Thanksgiving, President's Day, and Memorial Day.
