| The
Kindergarten The Kindergarten program is interwoven with various social studies themes. The classroom displays reflect the present theme, which allows the children to be fully immersed in the subjects. All lessons are presented using auditory, visual and kinesthetic methods considering developmental and gender differences. Pre-reading and early reading skills are taught based on phonics. Phonemic awareness, phonic based word attack skills, long and short vowels, comprehension with different literature genres, and reading for pleasure are covered. Daily writing is also a component of the reading program. The mathematics program includes: patterns, counting, measuring, comparing, time, money, problem solving, addition, subtraction, fractions and enrichment opportunities. Manipulative materials are used and are an important aspect of the daily experience. The children attend performing arts (music, instruments and movement), science, technology, physical education, library, and visual art classes each week taught by specialists. The Kindergarten program emphasis is socially driven and character development is an important component to the core teaching. Service learning is a key part to this theme which is entwined with our school- wide 5 C's program. |
