We strive to work with the child at his or her developmental stage yet provide them with challenging activities to promote them to further stages. In math, the children focus on number recognition, counting, matching one to one correspondence, shapes, patterns, addition and subtraction, time, fractions, and simple probability. In English, we focus on identification of letters and their sounds and making a connection between the two in the children's writing. Also, beginning reading skills are taught and encouraged. Science and social sciences include a variety of topics from plants and water to community and famous people.
Students also receive music and library instruction once a week.
Many field trips throughout the year are integrated into the kindergarten curriculum. We encourage parental involvement in the classroom and on field trips. Communication will be made through monthly newsletters, monthly snack and activity calendars, weekly work folders, phone calls and conferences. Parents are encouraged to contact the teacher at anytime with any concerns or questions. Homework is generally not assigned, however, we feel very strongly that reading to and with your child each day is a necessary tool for school success for your child.
