Kindergarten

Name of Teacher: Shelley White

Class Fee: $30.00

Suitable ages, abilities, or skill levels for this class: Must be 5 years old when class starts to be in the Kindergarten class.

Description and Objectives of this class: The kindergarten class will focus on the development of skills in preparation for higher learning in the following areas:

Science: We will be reading various science books throughout the year. We will be learning about some of the fascinating animals God has created.

Math: In the morning we will focus on learning the days of the week, months of the year, counting by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s. We will focus on number recognition, writing numerals, number sequencing, time by the hour and half-hour, patterns, sorting, and identifying coins and their value.

Reading and Writing: We will review letters and sounds every week. We will have letter activities every morning. We will begin writing words and then progress to one or more sentences. We will have activities where I share the pen and allow students to participate in writing activities with the class. We will practice blending sounds together to make words. We will be reading aloud to your child frequently throughout the day. Hearing stories read aloud increases your child’s reading and listening comprehension. These skills will transfer easily when your child begins to read independently.

Free play: We will have free play activities for the children in the afternoon. They can choose a variety of toys, books, blocks, and art projects for creative play.

Sibling Play

Teacher: TBA

Class fee: $5

Ages: Toddlers, Preschool 2, Preschool 3, and Pre-K class must register for this class, unless you leave early.

Description and Objectives of this class: For the last class of the day at 2:00, some of the classes combine to snack and play together. The Toddlers and 2 year olds will combine together, and the 3 year olds and Pre-K class will combine together. Everyone in one of those classes must register for this class.

Kindergarten Rhythm and Music 2:00 p.m.

Teacher: Miriam Adair

Class Fee: $5

Ages: All who are in Kindergarten must register for this, unless you leave early

Objectives of this class: For the last hour of the day, Kindergarteners will spend half of the hour taking this music class, and the other half playing. This is similar to the 1st and 2nd grade Rhythm and Music class, but is shorter and geared towards this younger age. Students will express themselves through an assortment of music-related activities. Each class will be filled with vocal warm-up games, followed by active movement songs where kids learn how singing can bring joy to others and themself. Each class day, everyone will have a chance to use an instrument such as rhythm sticks, tambourines, or egg shakers to keep rhythm with the music. My desire is for your child to gain the opportunity to build self-esteem, improve memorization, strengthen hand-eye coordination, and build a love for music.
