St. Luke’s Kindergarten program nurtures mind, body and spirit, while developing a passion for lifelong learning. Our language arts program is grounded in the science of reading, designed to build foundational literacy skills through evidence-based practices in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. We use Fundations by Wilson Learning to build a firm foundation for beginning readers and to develop handwriting. In addition, we utilize small group reading instruction for each child. Journal writing helps students develop as writers and create the foundation for a love of writing through daily experiences. Our math program builds throughout the year, developing understanding of numbers, computation, patterns, geometry, and functions. Integrating science and social studies within our units allows for hands-on, child-driven projects.
