PK4 Team-Mrs. Laverdure & Mrs. Hanna

The 4-year old program is a more structured learning environment from the PK3 program. The reading program, "Happily Ever After", is the introductory literacy series to the Super Kids curriculum used in Kindergarten and Grades 1 and 2.  Each unit develops reading readiness by integrating reading, writing and spelling. The Writing/Language Arts program, "Handwriting without Tears," introduces handwriting to preschoolers using readiness for writing, language and literacy and numbers and math programs. Math concepts are introduced using calendars, weather graph and activities using shapes, patterns, sequencing, counting, sorting, measuring and weights and balances. Science exploration includes the four seasons, the five senses, magnets, temperature, sink or float, shadows, magnification, planting, hibernation and life cycle. The preschool religion program, "Discovering God's World," helps each child to develop a personal relationship with God. It educates the child in every dimension developing those human resources, which provide the basis for the life of faith, a sense of trust, of freedom, self-giving, of invocation and joyful participation. The children attend morning mass once a week. Along with the core subjects students participate in Physical Education, Music, Spanish and Computer class once a week.
