| As
part of a year round program, the
all day Kindergarten class offers reading and math programs consistent with the
surrounding school districts. The reading program is a dual curriculum:
classroom phonics and literature based with supplemental activities in worksheets,
creative writing, thematic study and special projects. The math
program is Saxton Math based on learning by using hands-on activities
and re-enforced by worksheets. The concepts learned in performing
these activities are covering numeration, problem solving, measuring,
addition, subtraction, telling time and money. By keeping the class
uniquely individualized, each student will be challenged at their own pace. In addition to the reading and math portions of the class, "center time" provides students with additional hands-on activities and self exploration which challenges the student in a rewarding and positive manner. Included in the interest centers are art, math and science, blocks, pretend, manipulation games and computer time with programs which enhance the reading and math curriculum. We also include in our weekly kindergarten program a Spanish curriculum, science experiments, cooking, library, music, social studies, and a variety of opportunities for the development of social and motor skills. |
