Bible
Bible is taught daily and includes Bible stories, memory verses, songs, and prayer. Students also attend Chapel once a week with guest speakers, movies, musical presentations, and class presentations. It is our desire for our students to grow spiritually as well as academically.

 

Reading
The kindergarten reading curriculum is phonetically based. Students begin by reviewing the sounds of vowels and consonants and progress to reading blends and words. The class is divided into groups in which students read a series of books that are suitable to their age level. Each time a student finishes a book they are able to take it home. Stories are also read to the class on a regular basis. Students will experience language through creating individual and group stories and books.

 

Writing
The writing curriculum makes writing easy for the children to learn. Students learn to make letter and number formations on special writing paper. The concept of “writing houses” helps in assisting the student to write. Knowing where each letter lives in the houses helps them to print correctly.

 

Math
Students will learn to count by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s and 10’s to 100. They learn the value of numbers 1 to 100 and how to recognize them. Addition, subtraction, measurement, money, and time are taught using flash cards, visual aids, counters, clocks, coins, and many other hands-on manipulatives.

The five year old curriculum begins the students’ involvement in the integrating of technology into their curriculum through our School of Technology program. They use KidPix to work through several projects throughout the school year.

 

Art/Music
All kindergarten students attend art and music classes. In art, students are allowed to be creative with their cutting, pasting, coloring, and painting. These art experiences help in developing good eye-hand coordination. In music, the children express themselves with movement, rhythm instruments and the special songs they sing. They will learn songs that bring praise and worship to the Lord.
