Kindergarten
The focus in
kindergarten is the
social, emotional,
creative, physical,
cognitive, and spiritual
development of the
child. Mastering
consonant and vowel
sounds, blending sounds
to form words, and
decoding and encoding
lead to beginning
reading and writing. The
Kindergarten reading
program, beginning to
Read, Write, and Listen,
is supplemented by
Wright Group’s Shared
and Guided Reading. The
process of interactive
writing is an integral
part of the language
arts program.
Mathematical thinking is
developed by Everyday
Math, Sadlier Oxford
Math, Math Their Way,
and numerous
supplemental math
experiences progressing
from using manipulatives
to mentally visualizing
numbers and the
mathematical processes.
The kindergarten
students learn to write
and recognize numerals
to 100, solve addition
and subtraction facts
through 10, tell time,
and learn simple money
values. Social Studies
center on the home and
school community,
holidays and special
days, and strong
character development.
The Kindergarten program
is enriched by art,
Christian Life Skills,
computer, library
visits, music, physical
education, science, and
Spanish.
