Curriculum

Religion

We will be using Sadlier's Discovering God's World, a faith development program for 3 and 4 year olds. It develops a positive self-image in relationship to a  loving God. The children will learn that family, friends, and God love them. Learning simple prayers in preparation of celebrating in church is important and will be learned by the students.


Language Arts

Students will develop communication skills that enable them to share their world with others. These skills include listening, speaking, thinking, and pre-writing involving learning the alphabet and words. Listening, sharing stories, poetry, and songs are also pre-writing activities.


Math

Children will develop math concepts through manipulation, examination, and practical experiences using concrete materials. Further knowledge will come from the understanding of colors, shapes, and quantitative concepts such as, size differences and basic counting skills through practical application, classifying, forming sets, and recognizing numerals.


Social Sciences

Social Sciences help children understand the world around them and the ways it affects their own lives. The children will be encouraged to use their minds, hands, and all of their senses to investigate their environment. 

We will study many topics:

All About Me/Human Body
Plants
Family and Friends
Animals
Community Helpers
Matter
Transportation
Earth/Space
Farms
Growth and Change
Special Days
Weather and Seasons
