Preschool K4 Specials

MUSIC | WEEKLYStudents continue to build a repertoire of songs, games, and rhymes. They continue learning the basic music concepts of high, low, fast, slow, loud, and soft. Students also continue to work on their sense of internal steady beat and move to music creatively as well as following simple choreography. K4 students further develop singing and performance skills through various programs throughout the year as a part of Grandparents Day, the Christmas Program, and a Spring Program. Students learn that music is a gift that they can use to worship God.
PE | WEEKLYStudents develop a variety of basic movement skills and manipulative skills so they will experience success and feel comfortable during present and future physical activity pursuits. They develop positive social skills and the ability to get along with others in movement environments. They develop and maintain acceptable levels of physical fitness through increased moderate and vigorous physical activity. Students increase kinesthetic awareness and be more confident and safe movers. They will demonstrate improved problem-solving and movement creativity while using a variety of manipulatives in many situations.

SPANISH | WEEKLYStudents will experience learning Spanish through playing games, singing songs, and coloring theme activity pages; during which they become intrigued by the variety of Spanish activities presented! Students are introduced to greetings, colors, shapes, numerals 0 - 5, and some classroom objects. They build on vocabulary already introduced and learn new vocabulary. Students will have a well-balanced exposure to and appreciation of Hispanic and Latino culture.
ART | WEEKLYYoung artists in K4 are encouraged to appreciate this beautiful world that our Master Artist created for us through a wide exploration of art tools and techniques. Students will build upon previously taught lessons in drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, and sculpture. Students will continue to look at and discuss several famous artists throughout history, as well as, develop their own unique style of making art. Students are encouraged to practice their fine motor skills so they will be well-prepared for Kindergarten and beyond.

READING ROOM | WEEKLYStudents experience an interactive read-aloud of a children’s book that supports chapel themes, seasonal topics, or learning objectives. They also have the opportunity to select and check out a book to take home with them for the week.
STEAM | WEEKLY
In STEAM at the K4 level, students engage in activities with the computer that explore math and graphic arts skills, 3D design, robotics, and hands-on STEAM exercises that strengthen cognitive reasoning skills and group collaborative skills.
