Kindergarten

Kindergarten is an all-day program. It is a nurturing and challenging environment for our beginning students who begin and end their day in prayer along with weekly masses. The curriculum includes religion, reading, writing, math, social studies, science, art, computer lab, music, library and physical education. Students are given the opportunity to learn, make mistakes, and succeed, knowing they are capable of great things!

During the year, students will focus on the following:

Phonics (Heggerty), fluency (Readwell), vocabulary and comprehension in an age appropriate literacy program
Counting, measuring, sorting, place value, 2D and 3D shapes, number operations
Letter formation, drawing and dictating sentences
National holidays and well known examples from US History
Seasons, lifecycle of the butterfly, ladybug, plants and weather
Sense of God’s presence in the world around them and to appreciate their own uniqueness
