KINDERGARTEN
Our Kindergarten program uses McRuffy Press for math and phonics instruction. McRuffy Press not only meets, but also exceeds CCSD and SC state standards. This ensures every child is adequately prepared for success in 1st grade.
The main emphasis in our phonics instruction is understanding how phonemes are represented and how they relate to writing and reading. Our phonics and reading focuses on decoding words (phonics), comprehension (giving meaning to printed material), spelling, and writing (encoding).
Additionally, Handwriting Without Tears method and workbook is used to supplement the handwriting portion of instruction. The McRuffy Kindergarten Color Math is a highly interactive math program that utilizes a well-balanced variety of skills in order to build a strong foundation of core math essentials. Auditory, visual, and tactile methods, such as manipulatives and technology are used to develop these concepts.
All subjects are presented systematically and thematically. This program also includes a Bible curriculum, as well as, weekly Chapel, Music, Spanish, and S.T.E.A.M. classes to foster growth in the whole child.
