Kindergarteners

Our kindergarten students, appropriately named” Achievers,” participate in a wide variety of studies that include language arts, math, science, social studies, music, art, physical education, devotionals/chapel, and handwriting. We teach language arts using a sequential phonics program, “A Beka,” and math through hands-on manipulative instruction and written work.

Kindergarten is a fun year characterized by enormous spiritual, intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development. Many Kindergarten students experience for the first time leaving parents, quietly sitting still for longer periods of time focusing on a task or solving a problem, and making oh so many new friends. They are becoming more organized in caring for their materials. Kindergarten students enjoy bear hunts, produce their own circus, and count to 100 more ways than you can count. Following is a list of curriculum particular to the kindergarten year.

Kindergarten Curriculum Overview
  • Reading Readiness: A Beka phonics
  • Printing: handwriting practiced daily
  • Math: A Beka math and hands-on manipulatives
  • Science & Social Studies: unit studies
  • Bible: A Beka and scripture memorization
