Welcome to Turtles!
This year is going to be fantastic as we navigate the Pre-K world! Emotions are a big part of being in Pre-K, so we will work on identifying and navigating these emotions so we can model God's love though our daily actions. We will focus on curriculum as well as fine and gross motor skills in nature on our 22 acre campus, focusing on fueling imaginations and creativity.
For curriculum, we will pull from the same curriculum our Kinder and Form 1 use: Alveary Curriculum (based on Charlotte Mason's Principles), The Science of Reading (critical reading skills, including phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension), and Right Start Math (grouping, visualizing quantities, number naming, and strategizing through song games). Throughout our learning experiences we will also incorporate science, art, gardening, cooking, Spanish, movement, and music! All programing is also heavily natured based.
It's going to be a fun and exciting year of experiences, discovery and growth as we become outsiders!
