Pre-K3The Pre-K3 classroom at Oak Grove Academy offers a challenging, stimulating academic environment with low teacher/child ratios (1/10 with maximum class size of 30) in an open classroom. We are committed to the total needs of your child academically, socially, and emotionally. Our curriculum is based on the Pre-K "High Reach" series, a time-tested, developmentally appropriate educational curriculum based on readiness skills. We enhance this foundational curriculum with the phonic curriculum of Land of the Letter People, a program where the letters come to life and their sounds and life stories make phonics rules simple for children to remember. All students in this classroom learn proper letter formation for writing their names including capitalization, pencil grip and proportion. Our math program involves Saxon Math. In this program students explore number conservation, patterning, sorting by multiple attributes, the parts of a clock, measurement, and operations with use of manipulative's. Our curriculum strives to further develop the child's self-confidence and social development. The child learns to share and relate in a small and large group environment. We enhance our program by offering field trips that support and extend our thematic curriculum. Pre-K3 students participate in weekly classes with our Music, Spanish and Art teachers who design lessons to incorporate our monthly themes. Our Pre-K3 classroom has a computer lab where each child is scheduled time daily to use the academic software. The children not only learn from the educational software, but they also learn proper computer usage as well as terminology. We welcome your child to the unique adventure that is Oak Grove Academy's Pre-K3 program, a program that fosters independence, self reliance, and responsibility through respectful, consistent, and loving guidance. |
