5K Kindergarten
Classroom Curriculum for our Senior Kindergarten / 5K
Academic Excellence
Students in Senior Kindergarten learn through both structured and play-based, experiential learning activities. Instructional areas include Religion, Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Art, Music, Health, and Physical Education. Students participate in experiential learning opportunities through their study of and care for their class tortoises and through the use of various technology resources.
Spiritual Development
Senior Kindergarteners practice their faith and discipleship with Christ through participation in various prayer opportunities throughout the day. They attend and participate in Mass with the rest of the student body. Students learn memorized prayers and about the different Holy Days. The children study God’s creations and read and learn various Bible stories. Also in Senior Kindergarten, students learn about our church and how we show respect for our church. The children know that all people are from God and we respect that God created.
Character Development
In Senior Kindergarten, students continue to learn about the importance of good character. We develop this character through guiding students in taking turns, playing cooperatively with other children, and sharing. Students at this age also learn about the importance of and practice using the fruits of the Holy Spirit: joy, love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control.
Service
Senior Kindergarten students learn about the importance of and participate in serving others. The students serve through praying for others, making cards, collecting donated items, and joining in regular service projects.
