The K-4 Program

St. Catherine’s K-4 program has been designed for the 4-year-old who will go to Kindergarten the following year.

We will explore the alphabet, numbers, science, social studies, art, music, movement and religion in a structured, loving environment. These areas will be emphasized through hands-on, educational centers.

Our Language Art curriculum will work with a phonics-based program called Lippincott. A letter of the week is also included in our curriculum which will include letter sounds, pre-writing, discussing and reading stories about things that begin with that letter. This is enhanced with other outside materials from Scholastic’s AlphaTales.

The Math program used is a hands on program called Mathematics Your Way. This popular Math program is designed to give the children strong, basic skills, such as sets, patterning, sequencing, graphing, etc., that give them a firm foundation for their future math growth.

Science will be explored with weekly themes and hands on activities. Science is enhanced further with monthly classes from “Science Excitement”. All of this is accomplished with a fun, yet constructive “hands on” method.

The class will also work on listening and social skills as well. The goal for the “K-4 Kids” is Kindergarten readiness!!
