Kindergarten Highlights

​

Mathematics-Kindergarten students engage in problem-based learning that progresses to abstract concepts. Using manipulatives, visual models, and symbols, students develop deep mathematical thinking. Instruction balances conceptual understanding, procedural skills, and application, turning students into confident problem solvers and critical thinkers.

​

Language Arts & Literacy-Students participate in daily literacy rotations, using decodable books and small-group guided reading. Instruction focuses on phonemic awareness, phonics decoding, comprehension, and written expression, fostering fluent and confident readers. Regular assessments guide individualized instruction.

​​

Writing-Writing instruction emphasizes the full writing process, structured handwriting, and spelling. Purposeful reading and writing activities support phonemic awareness, critical thinking, and independent expression.

​

Science-Students explore science through hands-on learning, observation, and simple experiments. They develop curiosity, ask questions, make predictions, and explore cause-and-effect relationships. Early engagement builds foundational scientific understanding.

​

Social Studies / Cultural Studies[Kindergarten students learn about family, community, rules, safety, national symbols, geography, holidays, and cultural awareness. Activities include map work, environmental exploration, and projects that encourage respect for diverse perspectives.
