Weekly themes are used to prepare students academically, spiritually and socially for kindergarten. The fours focus on pre-reading skills through alphabet recognition and letter sounds, continuing our use of Zoophonics, a multi-sensory, kinesthetic method to teaching phonetic awareness and letter recognition. Chapel is held bi-weekly and music/creative movement is held weekly. Yoga and Creature Teacher are held monthly. Classes visit the school library at their teachers’’ discretion.
We take a multi-sensory approach with children learning their letters by hearing the letter, seeing the letter and writing the letters with a variety of materials. Math skills are reinforced by counting, grouping and sorting objects. In addition, children learn patterns, sequencing and rhyming. Learning centers and small group instruction are used daily. Bible stories are incorporated into the curriculum.
