CURRICULUM:
Our Standards are based on the Kansas State Standards for Kindergarten. Higher grade level
standards are utilized for differentiation based on individual student needs.
Our Language Arts curriculum consists of a Book of the Week, which utilizes sets of literature books
to motivate your child to learn their reading readiness skills, an adopted reading curriculum, and the
Animated Literacy Program which teaches phonics through characters, songs, and actions. We will
be focusing on phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and learning to identify
letters, sounds, and sight words. This will be accomplished by focusing on one letter and diphthong
blend each week. Students who are ready then advance into readers that are on their appropriate
grade level
Our Mathematics curriculum allows for a “hands on” approach to math using Investigations, Math
Every Day, manipulatives, and paper and pencil activities. We will be learning how to problem solve
and apply math to real life situations. We will be focusing on learning number sense, identifying
numbers, colors, shapes, patterns, counting, measuring, adding, and subtracting sets. .
Our supplemental curriculums include Science, Social Studies, Health, Art, Music, Computer
Education, Smart Board Technology, Physical Education, with fine and gross motor skill
development, Social Development, and Language Development with a Spanish Enrichment
program. The instructional models used to facilitate these concepts are whole group lessons, small
group activities, partner activities, academic centers, free choice centers, and outdoor activities. All
curricular learning activities are integrated to provide more meaningful experiences for the students.
Our Snacks and Lunches are very healthy and meet Kansas nutrition guidelines. Snacks are
provided by the school, and lunches are catered in. This is included in the cost of tuition.
