Pre-K4 Curriculum

Overview

During the Pre-K4 year at All Saints, curriculum is focused on the following Learning Themes: Look at Me, I’m Growing, Fire Prevention, The People who make our Community run, Changing Seasons, Winter and Hibernation, Valentine Post Office, Spring, Transportation, Insects and Spiders, Dinosaurs, and Getting ready for Kindergarten. During group meetings, students help read the daily message, engage in music and movement activities (including songs, action poems and fingerplays), and explore concepts such as colors, shapes, letters and their sounds, and numbers. 

 

Language Arts

Students continue to explore the concepts taught in Pre-K3, including stability, weight, balance, width, height, length, and shape while working in the Blocks and Manipulatives Center.  Students expand their knowledge of numbers, working on numbers 0-100. Other units of focus include patterns, sequencing, graphing, measurement, money, and time. With a growing number sense, students begin to practice adding objects together and discuss associated mathematical language.

Science

In the Science and Discovery Center, the students explore a variety of scientific tools, including balance scales, magnifying glasses, microscopes, and measuring tools. They learn about living things as they engage in planting and study the life cycles of butterflies.  They learn about basic scientific principles such as sinking and floating. The Pre-K4 classroom has a sensory table where the students can learn practical math skills when they pour sand and water from one container to another. Materials are changed to support the classroom themes. They learn about number, color and size when they play with objects in the center.

Co-curricular

Pre-K4 Students partake in several co-curricular activities such as music, dance, and world language. Please see our Beyond Core Academics page.

Milestone Projects

Pre-K4 ~ The All Saints Post Office

For two weeks in May, the Pre-K4 classes transform their classroom into the All Saints Post Office. To initiate this project, Pre-K4 students study the various roles of postal workers in the community and visit the Hoboken Post Office on Washington Street.
