We have a combined four and five-year-old kindergarten. They each have their own curriculum for their age with some of the curriculum overlapping. The class meets Monday through Friday. We offer full or half day classes for the kindergarten classes.
Students must be four or five-years-old by September 1st for their respective classes.
Four-year-olds study phonics in preparation for reading. They write letters, blends, words, and numbers. They learn to read sentences. They learn to count to 100, learn number recognition, and the larger-than/smaller-than concept of numbers. They also learn to add numbers less than ten.
Five-year-olds learn to read. They also study phonics, writing, and number concepts. Number concepts include numerical relationship and recognition of coins, counting by 1's, 2's, 5's, and 10's to 100. Five-year-olds also learn to spell and print number words from one to ten, and learn to tell time. There are science units on weather, seasons, seeds, animals, the seashore, and the creation of man.
Four and five-year-olds study Bible, music, and art. Snacks and a nap time are included in the schedule.
Mrs. Laura Cochran teaches from the Abeka curriculum. She teaches Bible, phonics, spelling, math, reading, history, and science. Mrs. Abby Shan and Mrs. Susie Kain also help with the kindergarten classes.
All classes also have art.
