In Kindergarten, we use a variety of teaching styles to engage all of the students in learning. When you walk into our rooms, you may see whole group learning, small group center activities, hands-on learning and lots and lots of reading and writing!!! We use a balanced literacy approach to teaching reading, where the students learn to read through a variety of instructional methods. Since the average attention span of a kindergartner is not much longer than 15 minutes, there are many fun transition activities, which lead into the next subject area. One of our favorites is singing and doing the "Tooty-Ta" dance!

The kindergartners have opportunities to grown in other areas such as Music, Art, Physical Education and Library Skills by attending these special area classes throughout the week. Parents are eagerly involved in classroom activities, helping at instructional centers, going on field trips and, of course, being their child's first teacher at home. Listed below are the names of the publishing company's of certain textbooks we use in kindergarten. These books are the basis for the subject areas, however many other resources are used the enhance learning in the classrooms.
