Kindergarten
As with all of our classes, the Kindergarten program is developmentally based, with a greater emphasis on academic learning, and lots of small group instruction. Whole language and phonics form the core of the reading program, which is supplemented by the Handwriting Without Tears program. Children study letter names and sounds, and are encouraged to read simple words and books appropriate to their individual writing and reading levels. Composition is taught through instruction in the formation of letters, words, sentences, and personal journals. Mathematics is taught with a “hands-on” approach through the use of manipulatives and projects. Music/movement and art history are integral to this program, with instruction also provided in Sign Language and yoga. Numerous field trips, special class events, a Class Garden and many volunteers greatly enrich this program.
