Kindergarten with MS. Teresa Ventura
Welcome to the awesome Kindergarten! This year we will embark on a journey together to help your child grow academically as well as mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Kindergarten is a time of exploration, learning, growth, and of course, fun!
Our Kindergarten curriculum is developmentally appropriate and is aligned with the Los Angeles Archdiocesan, the California State, and the Common Core Standards. Our curriculum consists of English Language Arts (ELA), Math, Religion, Science, and Social Studies. We attend the Writing to Read Lab daily. It is an ELA program that incorporates both early literacy skills and technology. We also participate in enrichment classes once a week, such as Art, Music, P.E., and Library.
We play and incorporate center time in the classroom. It is comprised of dramatic play, art, math, language, manipulatives, listening/reading, fine motor skills, and building. Center time allows the students to use their imaginations and provides hands-on learning. It also provides a time for peer interaction and time for learning problem solving.
We learn about Jesus and how to love and live like Jesus. We attend mass once a month for our All School masses. We participate in Morning Prayer Assemblies. We learn our prayers, such as The Sign of the Cross, Our Father, Hail Mary, The Guardian Angel Prayer, The Glory Be, and the Prayer Before Meals.
We also explore the community outside our school by going on field trips. We go to the pumpkin patch, fire station, police station, library, and zoo. We also have fun days with marionette shows and the Tumble Bee Bus.
We will be developing into readers, writers, mathematicians, and more. We will also have so much fun together! It will be a great year of learning and growing!
