Kindergarten

In Kindergarten, we are busy learning the letter names and their sounds. We learn to blend them into words and use our words to make and read sentences. By the end of Kindergarten, we can read over 100 sight words! We also work on our numbers. We learn to count and write our numbers to 100. We explore money, shapes, ad patterning. At the end of the year, we are working on basic addition and subtraction problems. In Religion we focus of the story of creation and God's love for us. We talk about how to be kind and compassionate like Jesus. We attend Mass on Wednesdays and Holy Days. Kindergarten is an exciting year! In the fall, we visit Vala's Pumpkin Patch. We show our thankfulness to God by celebrating our Thanksgiving Mass with the first graders. In the spring we visit a working farm. Along with our busyness of learning to read, write, and do math, we are blessed to have "special" classes. Father Joe visits our room every other week. We have PE, computer class, library, guidance and a special religion class called Christi Filii weekly.
