This class will be lead with a Montessori approach. The children will have opportunities to refine practical life skills, work with sensorial materials, basic math & geography concepts as well as receiving instruction through the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd approach. Truly a life-giving class, suited to each child's needs and inspiring them to learn and grow deeper in their relationship with the Lord.

PRE/SCHOOL - KINDERGARTEN GYM
Tutor: Walther
Kids will enjoy warm-up, stretching, relays, songs and dance, parachute, and classic childhood games. Some sport skills may be taught (hitting a ball off a T, throwing a ball, kicking a ball, passing a basketball, etc.), although this will be dependent on the class's interest. Similar in structure to a library story time, but with some huffing and puffing too. A great opportunity for our smaller students to take turns and listen to simple directions.
Donations of a few balls appropriately sized for students would be greatly appreciated.
Supply Fee: $10
COST: $25

The 1/2 class will be focused around children's great books. Our lessons will be based on these books and will incorporate science, geography and history.

Sprinkled into the year we will learn about health, fitness, and the physiology behind why these are essential not only to our body, but to our mind and spirit as well!

Behold and See 3 is intended to help children build a conceptual framework of scientific ideas and thinking.

Ten chapters in all: "What is Science?"; "Matter and Spirit"; "Force and Energy"; "The Sun, Moon, and Stars"; "Animals"; "Plants"; "Interdependence in God's Design"; "Many Parts, One Body"; "Senses"; "Nutrition and Health". Also includes a "Dictionary of Words to Learn"!
