Kindergarten
The five years old child is ready for the development of reading, math and handwriting skills that will prepare him/her for the learning environment of the elementary school. The program we use presents science, social studies, language, and physical development activities in a weekly thematic format. Bible lessons and memory verse are still very important even at this age and are incorporated weekly. SRA is the reading program that is used and it focuses on phonic skills, and listening comprehension. In addition, Reading A-Z is a guided reading program that is used later in the year. A manipulative approach to learning math is used to develop math concepts. Beginning handwriting skills are taught through the use of a specially designed handwriting program. Creativity, curiosity and confidence are developed through center play activities. Art experiences, manipulative materials, dramatic play, books and games enhance the child's concept development. Field trips add to the child's enjoyment and understanding of the select themes.
