The kindergarten writing program includes journal writing, writer’s workshop, write aloud, and shared writing. The interactive approach allows for individual instruction in both fluency of the written word and handwriting. Handwriting, a small motor skill, is developed and refined through games and activities that exercise specific muscles in the hands and fingers. Students receive short phonics lessons.

The literacy project allows children to conduct extended, in-depth research on a phenomenon of interest to them; this investigation may link to the current unit of study.  Children investigate ideas and pose questions to generate theories and predictions concerning possible answers to their questions. The teacher guides the children to develop a culminating activity or event through which the children share what they have learned.

Math activities introduce numeration, data, measurement, patterns, and other concepts. Real-life math experiences are also integrated into the broader curriculum.

Cooperative science experiments are conducted throughout each week. Discovery and exploration of scientific principles also occur through projects at center time.

Free-choice center time begins with an initial planning and recording process to provide a structured format. These centers include math, art, literacy, woodworking, dramatic play, sand and water, writing, science/discovery, cooking, blocks, manipulatives, gardening, snack shop, and others.
