Course Description

The K4 class is a series of thematic units incorporating both fiction and nonfiction literature, science, music, gross- and fine-motor skills, language arts, math, social studies, and Bible. Class begins with group time, which includes listening skills, conversational skills, interacting with the teacher, and reading a story. Concentration is placed on learning and practicing classroom etiquette: listening, raising hands, lining up, being kind to others, obeying the teacher, using inside voices, and keeping hands to oneself. The class focuses on one letter of the alphabet per week and does thematic activities based on the letter of emphasis. As well, students will learn calendar skills.

Students also enjoy Music and Art class once weekly as part of their class day.

• Music Class: Students will attend music class once a week. The students will enjoy experiencing music in a variety of ways. We explore music through a repertoire rich in folk songs, nursery rhymes, and traditional singing games. We learn about music through imitation, movement, listening, visualization, improvisation, finger play, and rhythm instruments. Seasonal music activities are incorporated throughout the year.
• Art Class: Students will attend art class once a week.  K3-2nd grade students’ study of art will encourage them to better see and appreciate God’s own artistic brilliance in His lavish creation.  Quality children’s literature will be used to teach various art elements such as shape, line, texture, color, value, form and space.  Students will put their learning in action by completing an art project each class day using a variety of media and hands-on learning.
