0.1 Two-Day Junior Kindergarten Curriculum

Product Description

Sample

Our Junior Kindergarten Curriculum follows the top down approach that serves the complete Memoria Press curriculum so beautifully. Knowing the expectations of our kindergarten curriculum led us to design a program that provides a thorough, yet gentle, foundation for the student before he or she even begins his formal academic career. The goals of the Junior Kindergarten Curriculum are simple — introduce the student to the joy of learning and the satisfaction in a job well done. The Junior Kindergarten Curriculum is consistent with the remainder of the Memoria Press Classical curriculum with focus on:

• age-appropriate, quality content
• real books — classics that are beautiful and rich
• well prioritized objectives
• recitation
• repetition

We want our youngest students prepared for a rigorous phonics-based Kindergarten by being “reading ready” and academically mature. As importantly, we want our young students to delight in the pleasures of this stage of life — to capitalize on the curiosity and enthusiasm of their youth and to enjoy the songs, stories, games, rhymes, and prayers enjoyed by pre-school aged children for generations.

This Junior Kindergarten Program is structured in a two-day format, with each day requiring approximately 4 hours. Of course, everything is flexible! This two-day format covers:

• Introduction of letters and beginning sounds
• Number recognition 0-15
• Learning to form letters and numbers beginning with tracing
• Recognition of colors and color words
• Reading comprehension and increased vocabulary
• Devotional and Calendar Time
• Show & Tell, crafts, music, and poetry
