Our curriculum covers the spiritual, social/emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative expression of the child. Within these experiences, children will participate in a variety of activities that help them develop in these areas. Children will be introduced to prayer, learn how to interact appropriately with peers, and begin to take care of their own personal needs. Fine and gross motor skills will be strengthened, oral language, book knowledge, alphabet knowledge, and numbers and counting will be introduced. Science, music, and art are all integrated within the curriculum for the whole school year.
We love guiding our young learners with our...
Little Knights' Seasonal Explorations
Little Knights' Seasonal Explorations
The Blessed Sacrament Little Knights has two classrooms with overlapping STEM themes.
One such theme is with pumpkins. Both the Pre-Kindergarten and Preschool classrooms explore pumpkins in the fall. The classes create pumpkins, carve pumpkins, count pumpkin seeds and make pumpkin art throughout the fall. The students enjoy getting their fingers dirty while pulling the seeds out of the pumpkins. Each year Pre-Kindergarteners vote on designs for carved and painted pumpkins. Both classes use shapes to design paper pumpkin designs. Below are some examples of pumpkin activities we have done over the years.
The theme is continued during the spring when the classes explore the plant life cycle. The classes plant seeds and watch them grow. The Pre-Kindergarten class plants pumpkin seeds and watch them grow into seedlings. The seedlings are sent home to be planted and each year at least one student grows a pumpkin. In the summer of 2021, 2 students grew 5 or more pumpkins from the dixie cup seedling they took home.

During the Pre-K Pumpkin theme, the students are given small pumpkin candies and toothpicks.
(Achievement Standard: Problem Solving, Mathematical Thinking and Expression and Scientific Exploration and Knowledge)
The students are given an opportunity to discuss their observations of the candy pumpkins compared to the live pumpkins to be used to make the jack-o-lantern. The students each will count the number of candy pumpkins they have and how many toothpicks they have. The students are then encouraged to design their own. In years past, our students have built cubes, letters, houses and shapes with the candy pumpkins and toothpicks.
The Preschool class enjoys pumpkins and does a variety of different activities throughout the unit.
(Achievement Standard: Mathematical Thinking and Expression, d Language and Communication Development and Scientific Exploration and Knowledge)
Preschool went on a virtual pumpkin patch. The children learned about farm animals, vegetation that grows during fall and the growth of a pumpkin. The students discussed the parts of a pumpkin, and explored the size, weight and texture of the pumpkin. The staff carved the pumpkin so the students could investigate the whole pumpkin. The students used all their senses to smell, touch and feel the insides of a pumpkin. The seeds were counted and collected by the students. The students then identified the shapes used to make the Jack-O'-Lantern. The students created their own Jack-O'-Lantern using shapes and colors. The students completed the unit by making a pumpkin book using yarn to represent the pulp and three pumpkin seeds.
