In this classroom, we are preparing for kindergarten. We learn to use and care for classroom materials, work together, become more independent, use our creativity, follow directions, listen, learn, and have fun. We learn sounds and letters and sight words as we go. We strive to recognize numbers through 31, write numbers one to ten, and understand value (ex: 12 is 10, and how many more?). We build with blocks, rocks, cups, Legos, and tracks to create whatever our students can imagine. We use different processes and materials for our art and drawing. We learn songs and finger plays, dance to music, and have multiple performances a year. We also hatch baby chicks in the summer as one of our curriculum topics. We have an extensive library, and we read fun and informative books. We teach the children that God is the center of everything and that they can depend on Him always. God is woven into everything we do throughout the day. We learn weekly bible truths and pray with the children throughout the day. We teach the children how to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We give glory to God for His creations and blessings always.
