kindergarten at St. Peter's
The Program
In kindergarten, students are introduced to Language, Religion, Math, Social Studies, P.E. (physical education), Art, Science and Technology. Students are exposed to a variety of activities that promote language growth in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Students are encouraged to participate in group discussions, share research and writing projects, make connections among texts, and share and respond to questions. High frequency and decodable words are introduced to help students form simple sentences. Students learn to add, subtract, count to 100, compare and describe measurements, as well as demonstrate and apply a knowledge of number sense and patterns.
