Course Description

The K5 class is made up of different class themes each week.  Examples of weekly themes are All About Me, My Family, Five Senses, several weeks of fall themes such as Apples, pumpkins, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Winter, Fairy Tales, Farm, Community Helpers, etc…  Each week literacy, math, social studies, and science skills and concepts are included in large group activities and in small group learning centers. The children gain social skills, practice problem-solving, and learn about themselves, their environment, and others through active play. They are encouraged to love learning, develop early literacy skills, and interact with others in a classroom setting.

Students who attend the two day model will learn about the same theme for both Tuesday and Thursday each week and will be able to do more activities and dive deeper into their weekly themes since they will have two full class days together.  Both science and social studies content will be covered at co-op, along with age appropriate calendar skills, math facts and sight words will also be practiced weekly.  On the three days per week that students are home, parents should focus on Math and English Language Arts content areas using whatever curriculum you have chosen to work through with your K5 student.

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.  K4-2nd 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.
