Welcome to Kindergarten!

We have fun in Kindergarten! We eagerly learn reading readiness skills, phonics, writing, math skills, science, and social studies. We also participate in vocal music, art, and physical education classes. We learn to read and write as our teacher uses the Expeditionary Learning curriculum to teach phonics, word building, and the writing process. We learn to write original stories in our journals and respond to the stories we read together in class. During the second semester of kindergarten, we leap into independent reading and writing activities. We use a hands-on approach in math, using manipulatives to teach number sense, problem solving skills, geometry, counting strategies, addition, subtraction, and measurement. The goal of a developmentally appropriate kindergarten is to accept all children where they are and take them forward on their educational journey. We strive to provide a challenging but fun learning environment for our young scholars!
