Kindergarten is a time to learn more than just your “ABC’s. It is a time of getting the students prepared for 1^st grade.

Bible- This time is the most important half hour of the school day. It is the subject that is taught each day, and by its very nature it should be the most interesting subject. We sing hymns and choruses, and memorize daily Bible verses.

Phonics- K5 children learn to read through the use of phonics. As soon as the short sounds of the vowels and the sounds for the only three consonants are introduced, they are able to sound out their first words.

Reading- Later, they will learn to read many words that contain special sounds. Their reading vocabulary naturally grows with each new sound learned.

Writing- Students learn cursive writing in a program that is correlated with their phonics. As they learn to recognize the letters of the alphabet and learn the sounds they see, they also learn to write them. Later, they learn to write blends, words, and sentences.

Skills development- During Skills Development, students learn visual perception skills, motor coordination, and listening/thinking skills.

Activity Time- Students enjoy music, art, a unit on community helpers, an introduction to American history and geography in America using Our Great Country, and a chance to meet people living in other countries in Children of the World.
