Welcome To Kindergarten
Kindergarten is blessed with teachers who are eager to guide their students in a Christian and loving environment. Each child will have many learning experiences that will foster social, emotional, physical, academic, and spiritual growth.
Kindergarten core subjects include Bible, language arts (including phonics, handwriting. and vocabulary), math, science, and social studies. Our specialty classes include art, music, and physical education.
Math
Kindergarten students will learn how to identify, count, and sequence numbers 1-100, patterns, simple graphs, and coins. Students will also learn how to sort and classify, measure, sequence events, tell time, read a calendar, add, and subtract. Students interact in flexible groups using hands-on activities to master mathematical skills.
Language Arts
Our language arts curriculum is based on a balanced literacy framework. Teachers use shared reading, guided reading, read-alouds, word walls, and provide students independent reading and writing activities to build language arts skills. Students will identify letters, blend letter sounds to read words and sentences, spell, identify sight words, and learn how to apply listening and oral skills. Guided reading groups are a part of our daily learning activities. Students will also have opportunities to work in learning centers that support literacy skills.
Science
Kindergarten students will learn about God’s world. We learn how God created order in the universe, seasons, weather, temperature, plants, the ocean, animal habitats, and the environment. Students will also learn the importance of recycling. We take a field trip to the San Antonio Zoo where students will be engaged in learning about God’s creation.
Social Studies
In social studies, students will learn about important leaders in our nation’s history and the importance of certain holidays throughout the calendar year.
Bible
The best part of our day is learning about God’s Word, the Bible. The focus is on Bible characters and the importance of emulating Christ-like attitude towards others. In kindergarten, we will discuss God’s wonderful gift of salvation to mankind and God’s forgiveness towards His people. In addition, kindergarten students will memorize Bible verses in order to be familiar with God’s Word. All core subjects integrate God’s Word and are taught from a Christian worldview.
