Kindergarten is a fun and exciting year when children begin to gain the foundations of both reading and writing.  Kindergarten teachers follow the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for all areas of the curriculum while incorporating rich learning centers, learning experiences in the classroom and field trips to help support our curriculum. 

Students go to specials a week at a time. They receive instruction in art, S.T.E.A.M, music, and physical education. In addition, once a month they go to the media center to explore books and foster a love for reading. 

Our focus is on growing our readers and mathematicians. Collaborating with parents, our staff strives to push our students toward achieving at their highest levels. To achieve this goal, we implement the Science of Reading and best practices with phonics instruction.  We have tutors who work with small groups of students; this is in addition to our exemplary classroom teachers and instructional assistants.

In Kindergarten, students learn the curriculum with the support of CKLA,  exploring lots of interesting topics.  We learn about Nursery Rhymes, Five Senses, Kings and Queens, Seasons and Weather. We will explore both fiction and nonfiction books, science, social studies and literacy.  We include fun days for students like nursery rhyme day where students dress up as their favorite nursery rhyme they have been studying.
