Kindergarten -
A good place to live, love, learn and laugh
Our curriculum follows the recommendations of the Diocese of Harrisburg for Kindergarten. In addition, it is aligned with the Department of Education’s standards.
For Religion, we utilize Loyola Press “God Loves Us.” Daily, we read from the Bible and hear a Bible meditation. We attend prayer services and weekly Mass, beginning in January.
In Math, we utilize Sadlier “Progress in Mathematics” as our primary program. We supplement with Touch Math and manipulatives.
For our Language Arts program, we incorporate research-based direct instruction in Phonics, using Saxon Phonics. We supplement with the new Letter People as another strategy. We practice handwriting daily. In late winter, we begin guided reading with the children utilizing developmentally appropriate leveled books.
In the afternoons, the children work on kid writing, and the weekly book treasure.
We attend special classes weekly. They include Art, Music, Library, and Computer for 30 minutes. We also attend Physical Education for 60 minutes. In winter, we will begin having French classes.
