| Dear Parents,
This is such an exciting time for you and your child. You will marvel at how much your child will learn and grow in kindergarten. We offer a wonderful program.
Full day kindergarten at Westside Christian School offers expanded opportunities for enrichment through a variety of activities such as learning centers, games, additional art projects, and recreation. Full day students enjoy the hot lunch which is included in the tuition. The half day program is designed to effectively prepare students for first grade. The half day program ends at 11:30. Most of our students stay all day.
Our children attend Music, Library, Computer, and Physical Education classes.
In Phonics your child will learn the letters and sounds, short and long vowel sounds, special phonics rules, sight words, and to read with expression and comprehension.
In Math your child will learn to count by ones, fives, tens, and twos. We learn to recognize and write numbers 1-100. We learn addition, subtraction, shapes, patterns, telling time, measurement, the value of a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter. We learn story problems, graphing, and simple fractions.
Your child will learn to write block manuscript letters and sentences. Many of our children write their own sentences and stories.
In Social Studies we learn about holidays, different cultures, America, and good citizenship.
In Science we learn about the senses, weather, plants, animals, seasons, and the seashore.
In Bible we learn about creation, sin, choices, being thankful, doing our best, putting others first, gentleness, kindness, and forgiveness.
We incorporate many fun themes and activities into our regular program for a fun filled day of work and play.
Sincerely,
April Hess Patti Smith
