Kindergarten
Welcome! In Kindergarten, children learn to be lifelong learners and friends. Kindergarteners can do so much! They develop their reading and writing skills throughout the year through a variety of ways. They are immersed in a print-rich environment, presented with an authentic purpose for literacy, engage in reading groups, experience literacy through songs, drama and art and work on letter study and phonics concepts. In Kindergarten, children also experience their first expeditions. They go on field studies, talk to experts and do research. Kindergarten is also the place to learn important friendship and social skills. Children learn to work collaboratively with their peers, play with others as both leader and follower, and solve conflicts peacefully. Watch the magic that happens throughout the year as these just-out-of-preschoolers transform into skillful, enthusiastic learners.
