From September to April your four year old will be reviewing and learning the 5 vowels and consonants as well as how to form blends. In May they will be reviewing letters and forming blends into three letter words.  They will also learn the phonetic sounds of all the letters in the alphabet, as well as how to write them. Your child will learn to count by ones, twos, fives and tens, while learning to write numbers 1 through 20.  Circle time consists of learning opposites, shapes, colors, days of the week and months of the year. The students practice very important social skills every day such as sharing, how to be a good friend, raising their hand to ask a question, and learning to respect others as well as themselves. We want your children to be "Kindergarten Ready" by graduation. This means they will be practicing independence and working through problems on their own. 

 

A Pre-K 4 progress report is sent home in January to let you know how your child is doing. A follow up is done at the end of the year; this really lets you see how well your child is progressing. In class field trips such as learning about Reptiles with Mr. Bill and Holiday Parties fill the year with tons of fun.  Along with all this learning, there will be plenty of time for PLAYING!! 

 

All of us here at Northstar want to instill a love for Jesus and learning that will last a lifetime.
