In a primary class mixed with three age groups (preschoolers, pre-kindergartners, and kindergartners), kindergartners are considered to be the role models for the class often giving cultural and practical life lessons to their younger peers. Every afternoon, the kindergarten class is structured with a formal lesson covering the curriculum item for the day and then students begin their work cycle with a follow up writing assignment. Math, science, reading and heart goals are then completed by the students.
As more responsibilities are given to our kindergartners, more learning experiences are also provided. Favorite children’s chapter books are read to the kindergarten classes each afternoon. Once a chapter book is done, Ms. Maryam and Ms. Nancy create activities centered upon the main themes in the book and a chapter book party commences. It includes hand-on activities reinforcing main themes read in the books and gives our students a deeper exposure to the main characters in the books.
Thanks for stepping up and doing all the adaptations we have had to make during this 2020 school year. Together we are creating a safe environment for our school community.
