Kindergarten literally means "children's garden". When your child walks through the doors of our classroom the opportunities for learning and growing are endless.
Kindergarten Specials Schedule:
Monday - Spanish
Tuesday - Physical Education
Wednesday - Art/Music
Thursday - Spanish
Friday - Health and Physical Education
In addition to all the academics in kindergarten (listed under the Curriculum tab) we also have the following activities:
Inner Peace - This quiet time helps create an atmosphere of calm, safety, reflection, and restoration. Inner peace takes place after recess and gives the children a break from the rigors of academics and demands of social interaction, a break which will help them be more productive and engaged in the afternoon. During inner peace time, children are quiet and are working completely independently from their classmates. They may be reading, working on unfinished work, working in their code books, drawing, or quietly resting their heads. In this quiet time they are often reflecting on the happenings of the day so far.
Book Buddies - Once a month or so, we meet with our 4th grade book buddies. We pair off and read books together. Sometimes we read in our classroom, at the park, or even on our awesome roof deck!
Field Trips - We will go on about 5 field trips this year (not including the walking trips we'll take around Hoboken).
Homework - Children should be reading and be read to each night.
