Kindergarten (5 year old)

Our kindergarten program challenges each student to develop interactive independence, creativity, and a sense of responsibility as a global citizen. The curriculum is developed to foster a lifetime of learning. We will focus on mastering letters, sounds, and words. We encourage students to become proficient readers, using one of our traditional and non non-traditional reading corners. Early aptitude for writing is an indication of a child’s reading ability. Students will learn about math and the art of observation. We support creative thinking and problem-solving through interactive education

Interdisciplinary Curriculum:

An integrated curriculum allows children to follow learning in a holistic way. The curriculum also incorporates process and technology. Your child will have some computer time, to listen to letter sounds, solve math problems and read. Students will build around their language art, math, science and social studies.

LANGUAGE ARTS:

The kindergarten language art curriculum is crucial for laying the foundation for a child’s reading, writing, and communication skills. Fundamentals such as phonics, word recognition, and comprehension will be introduced.

• Letter recognition: Identifying and naming upper and lower case letters of the alphabet.
• Letter-sound correspondence: Associating each letter with its corresponding sound.
• Beginning and ending sounds: Identifying the initial and final sounds in words.
• CVC words: Reading and writing simple consonant-vowel-consonant words (e.g., cat, dog, map).
