I trust that you are experiencing similar emotions as our school year approaches. Hopefully this message will help answer some of your questions. This class, the class of 2013, is composed of 19 children, Mrs. Kelly, our instructional assistant, a student teacher from Salve Regina University, and me, the classroom teacher. This kindergarten class uses a developmental approach to your child's education. The children enrolled vary in age from four years, turning five in December, to some children turning 6 in September.
Children learn differently at different times.
This classroom is set up to allow the children to progress developmentally, according to their abilities. Lessons are taught in a multi-level manner. Our kindergarten curriculum is language based. Children learn through listening, speaking, writing, and reading. Skills and concepts are taught using a theme.
