Reading Readiness:
Your child will be taught language and reading readiness skills, including letter recognition, phonetic sounds and letter formation. We use a variety of rhymes, songs and finger plays throughout the year. Students will learn that letters are grouped to form words and that words form sentences. We will read stories and engage your child in story discussions that help to increase their vocabulary and build a love for reading. Additionally Scholastic Magazine is used to supplement monthly lessons.
Math
We teach patterning, more/less, one to one, sorting/categorizing, shapes, number recognition, measurement, graphing, problem solving, calendar skills, and estimating.
Handwriting
The Handwriting without tears curriculum utilizes "fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate instructional methods to enable children to master handwriting." The curriculum allows children to develop finger grip, hand placement on paper and drawing simple shapes. After mastering these skills and then learning the "vocabulary behind the letters" (little line, big line, little curve, big curve), children begin to work on proper letter and number formation.
Bible
We teach the Bible as God's truth, focusing on stories from the Old and New Testaments. Activities reinforce the story and related themes such as obedience, honesty, sharing and telling the truth. Bible verses will be taught.
Art
Children participate in free art and small group instruction that gives them the opportunity to experience art utilizing different mediums such as playdough, paint, watercolor, etc. Items from nature are also used.
