The K1 program is designed to create a safe, caring and nurturing
developmentally appropriate enviorment, which fosters the academic, social
emotional and physical growth and development of each child. It is in the
K1 class that the children begin their formal religious education.
Daily prayer, attending Mass weekly, participating in the school C.A.R.E.S
program and daily reminders that we are all God's children help the children
to come to know about God and our Catholic faith community.
Our class is set up with different centers, each one geared toward
developing specific skills.

.Block area--shape and size discrimination,spatial relationships,number
skills, balance, organization, cause and effect,classification, cooperative

social skills, increase self-esteem, build vocabulary, and solve problems.
.Writing center--improve small-muscle development and eye-hand coordination.
.Circle activities--includes share time, calendar, weather and group lesson
time.
.Science--hands on opportunties for observation, exploration, making
predicitions, and experimentation.
A child's view point about school
"Going to school means I get to try
Blocks and crayons and paints that will dry.
Working with puzzles and looking at books
Exploring the room to find all the nooks
Meeting other children and enjoying the day
Talking to others and hearing what they say.
School days allow me to think and to do,
And find out what I'm able to do."
