The Wesleyan Academe offers Kindergarten for students who are ready to begin
their elementary education. Our Kindergarten is a fast paced adventure into
the world of education. Emphasizing a strong foundation in language,
phonics, and quantitative skills, the Kindergarten experience is enriched
through the study of classical children’s literature, Spanish, music, P.E.,
computer classes, class projects, and field trips.
Time of class: 8:30 am to 3:15 pm (Before/Aftercare available at an additional
charge)
The Kindergarten Program is a full day program involving the development of
teaching the young child the skills of an intense systematic phonics program
to read through repetition and review. New learning gradually builds on old
learning and practice sessions reinforce both. In this way, your child will
experience success every day. School work and assessments will be sent home
for your child to review. Word lists and other materials practiced at home
review objectives learned at school.
During the year, the Kindergarten student participates in a wide variety of
mathematic activities. Your child will lean through hand-on experiences,
discussion and exploration. Houghton Mifflin, Texas Math, is the basic
curriculum used, which is based on the TEKS objectives for Kindergarten. The
objectives encompass:
The teacher also uses additional resources to enhance the Houghton Mifflin program.
