CURRICULUM - KINDERGARTEN

Reading            
The goal for reading readiness is to learn the upper and lower case letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make, as well as print them using proper size, formation, and lines. The reading of color and K-1 vocabulary will be emphasized. By the end of the kindergarten year, the children will be able to print their first and last name. Other reading readiness activities are provided by our literature-based program and early reading will take place as your child develops literacy skills.

Mathematics     
The mathematics program gives students opportunities to experience basic number concepts through informal group activities and planned experiences which occur in games and discovery as students work with materials. This includes rote counting, recognizing and understanding the meaning of the numerals from zero to twenty, learning about comparisons, the calendar, sets, one-to-one correspondences, geometric shapes, patterning, graphing, and problem solving activities.            
The mathematical area is broken down into these areas based on the eight strands:                   
1. Patterns and Functions                
2. Problem Solving     
3. Numeration          
4. Geometry            
5. Algebra               
6. Measurement       
7. Estimation and Mental Math            
8. Data Analysis and Probability

Social Studies   
The topics covered are as follows:         
American Heritage People in Societies World Interaction Democratic Processes Citizenship

Science/Health  
The kindergarten science program provides children a time to explore such topics as the use of water, weather conditions, and various forms of living things using many hands-one activities. The children learn about their bodies and ways to keep them healthy.
