Kindergarten Class at St. Francis-St. James United School

The kindergarten curriculum emphasizes social and emotional development and expands the students' knowledge of their environment, as much as teach academic skills.

In the area of reading/language arts, we use the Houghton Mifflin Series. It uses a wide variety of literature, alpha friends for letter recognition and sounds, sight words, word families and practice books that build a solid foundation for learning to read and write.

In the area of mathematics, we use The Math Their Way Program. This is a hands-on approach to learning numbers, counting, patterning, graphing, estimating, sorting and beginning adding and subtracting.

In the area of religion, we use the I Am Special Kindergarten Religion Program. This includes stories, songs, dramatizations, finger plays, sensory activities, Scripture and prayer.

In the area of science, we use the McGraw-Hill Series. It covers Life Science, plants and animals, Earth Science, earth and weather and seasons, Physical Science, five senses and making things move.

Through the use of play and a rich, meaningful balanced curriculum of skills and age-appropriate activities we encourage children to want to learn.
