Welcome
to our Pre-K-4 Class!
Our Language Arts curriculum is based on Scott
Foresman’s READING STREET, a literacy program plus a “ hands –on”
phonics approach. We will concentrate
on the “letter of the week”, beginning with the short vowel sounds followed by
the consonants. We will include the
long vowel sounds and rhyming words.
Your child is encouraged to bring in objects, pictures, and books with
these beginning sounds. Your child will
also learn how to sound out consonant-vowel combinations as we develop reading readiness.
Our Math curriculum is based on HOW TO COUNT AND
WRITE, published by ACIS. Our
program is designed to help children explore a wide variety of math
concepts. They will be making
discoveries using “hands-on” manipulatives, such as shapes, connecting cubes,
tiles, dominoes, flash cards, and pattern blocks.
In our supplemental curriculum, the children will
learn about our relationship to God, and the world around us through Bible
stories, songs, and activities. This
will be based on a weekly Bible verse from the VOYAGER curriculum
published by Concordia and WEEKLY READER.
Other “hands-on” accomplishments will include
learning how to tie shoes, button, zip, snap, and cut with scissors. We will begin the year with each child
learning his/her full name, birthday, telephone number, and address.
