Kindergarten

We will learn the names for the lines of the paper, work on identifying unvoiced and voiced sounds as well as identifying the first and last sound in a word. We will practice our fine motor skills to prepare for our pencil grip. We will be reading books such as "The Old Lady who Swallowed some Books"  to practice identifying rhyming words and differentiating between words and sentences.

We will be working on routines and procedures the first 2 weeks of school.

At Founders, fine arts are taught through a classical education approach that connects learning across all subjects. Students study music, art, poetry, and drama alongside history, literature, and science to deepen their understanding of each topic. For example, students may learn songs connected to historical time periods, create artwork inspired by stories they read, or memorize poetry that strengthens language and reading skills. This integrated approach helps students build creativity, critical thinking, and a greater appreciation for truth, beauty, and goodness in all areas of learning. 

We will be working on routines and procedures the first 2 weeks of school.

We will recite "Tommy" by Gwendolyn Brooks. On Sept. 8th, all of Kindergarten will recite during morning assembly. If you want to watch, please park by the playground and come in! We will also have partner recitations during class that day for a grade.
