The school's handbook contains information about the school that is useful to parents and students. Kindergarten Program Kindergarten students spend most of their time working on Literacy skills such as reading and writing readiness, listening and speaking. It is an expectation that they will be able to identify all the upper and lower case letters as well as most of the consonant sounds and long vowels by the end of the year. This is done through daily lessons in the Open Court Reading Program. The teacher reads to the students every day, teaching them book skills such as Title, Author and Illustrator.
Students learn how to handle books and get many opportunities to do so throughout each day.
Enjoyment of books and reading is a constant goal as the children are able to listen attentively to longer and longer stories. The teacher does a daily morning message with a lot of common vocabulary words. By the end of the year, many students recognize words from the morning message and other sources. Penmanship is taught using the Open Court method that is recommended by the district's current Language Arts curriculum. Kindergarten students do math every day.
