Welcome to Kindergarten

About Kindergarten:

Welcome to Kindergarten.  We have the opportunity to learn math, reading and unit (Science and Social Studies) concepts through games, listening to stories, and various activities.

We use the Saxon math program.  In this series, the children are introduced to math concepts through manipulative activities and then use worksheets to reinforce the concepts.

The Open Court Reading series builds a base of language, phonics, writing, and reading skills through a systematic way of introducing and building on skills previously introduced.

In Religion, we recognize the uniqueness of each child and help them to grow in understanding who they are in relationship to God.

Children use weekly centers to reinforce curriculum objectives.  Daily centers provide an opportunity for the children to work independently - they choose the center, the activity, who they will work with in the center, and how long they will work before moving to another center.  Kindergarten homework is an extension of daily class activities.
