​K5 CURRICULUM

Bible

Students learn Old and New Testament stories.  Old Testament stories include Creation, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.  New Testament stories include the Birth of Christ, the Early and Later Ministries of Jesus, the Crucifixion of Christ, and the Resurrection.  Students also memorize many Bible songs, the ABC Bible verses, and extended passages of Scripture.  Our emphasis in Bible is that each student would place their trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and grow in their relationship with Him.

Math

Students learn to count to 100 and identify numbers 1-100.  They learn number words one through ten.  Students recognize before and after numbers and count by 10s, 5s, and 2s.  They tell time to the hour, half hour, and quarter hour.  They learn the value of a penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and dollar.  They also learn addition up to the sum of 10 and are introduced to subtraction. 

Literacy

Literacy includes phonics, reading, and penmanship.  Students learn the name and sound of all vowels and consonants.  They read one and two vowel words.  They also memorize special sounds.  As the phonics foundation is established, reading groups begin.  Students are able to receive small group instruction according to their reading ability.  Throughout the school year, students will develop accuracy, speed, expression and comprehension in reading.  Penmanship coincides with phonics and reading instruction.  Correct pencil grip and letter formation are emphasized as students write letters, blends, words, and sentences.

Social Studies
