Exciting Things that Happen in My Class:
Bible:  Daily we search the scriptures to learn what God has to teach us.  The kindergarten class hears the stories in the Old and New Testaments and seek how we can apply them to our lives today.  For memory verses, the children learn 26 verses (A to Z), Psalm 100, Luke 2:8-14, and The Lord's Prayer.

Reading:  Using a phonic based curriculum, the kindergarten class begins learning the five short vowel sounds.  Adding two consonants per week and blending with the vowels, the children are reading three letter words by Christmas.  In January, Miss Muffet helps instruct the long vowel sound and the children are reading thousands of words by June.

Number Skills:  The kindergarten class uses games, manipulatives, and hands-on activities to learn colors, shapes, and numbers.  By the end of the school year we are counting 1-100 by 1's, 5's, and 10's.

Monthly Themes:  Social Studies and Science subjects are taught with monthly themes.  Using literature, children's books, experiments and hands-on activities, the children explore the world God has created.  For a list of the themes, contact Mrs. Lowe.

Fieldtrips:  Kindergarten went to the Bloomsburg Fair in September.  It was the beginning of our monthly fieldtrips.  We also will be visiting a local nursing home, learning to use crosswalks in town, go bowling, and visit the Philadelphia Zoo. 

Programs:  The kindergarten class will present a Thanksgiving program at 1:00 pm, Tuesday, November 21, 2006.  During December, the kindergartners and their parents will be supporting a missionary project.  At Kindergarten Graduation, 7:00 pm, Tuesday, June 6, 2006, the class will present a special program including "The Little Red Hen" musical.   For additional information, call CCCS at 784-2977.
