KINDERGARTEN

Bible: We start each year learning about the Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5). By using the Word and Song Bible, students experience stories from the Old and New Testament as they come alive through dramatization, and songs. The students memorize applicable Bible verse each week.

Phonics: Sing Spell Read & Write - Students start with letter and sound recognition. Alphabet and Vowel songs are used to reinforce these important concepts. Once this part of our curriculum is complete we introduce our word families and begin reading groups.

Handwriting: D'Nealian - Our Kindergarten students learn to write using the D'Nealian handwriting method. This style of manuscript allows for an easier transition to cursive writing in second grade.

Math: enVisions Math - EnVisions math incorporates manipulative tools for hands on learning of math concepts. We move from the concrete to the more abstract as the year progresses.
