Kindergarten students begin most days by worshiping the Lord in song, followed by time together clustered on the classroom rug listening to a Bible story. Some days, the rug is abandoned, and students build the walls of Jericho out of blocks, or act out a scene from another familiar Bible story. Other days, the teacher may use God’s word as a tender teaching tool to address social issues in class, or to affirm in each student the beauty and value they possess simply because they are a child of God. Our Bible curriculum covers a range of topics, from Creation and the Patriarchs to Christ’s birth, death and resurrection as well as several of the parables of Jesus.
In kindergarten, the language arts encompass a wide range of activities that make serious learning fun! Emphasis is placed on encoding and decoding 54 phonograms, and then using this knowledge to both read and write simple words. Alliterative play is added as students encounter sounds and words in poetry, songs and classical literature. Simple sentences are constructed, and by the end of Kindergarten, students are well on their way to a solid base in reading and writing. Woven into the language arts program are thematic units including: Caldecott Winners, Dr. Seuss Day, Beatrix Potter, Fairy Tales, friendship stories and seasonal favorites.
