Specials Curriculum

Kindergarten

ART

Kindergarten students have unique and special needs in art education. Kindergarten children need to be encouraged to perceive differences in their world, and to make choices based on this perception. Students are encouraged to find their own solution to art projects, to develop an appreciation for the art work of others and to express their preferences. Art projects include two and three dimensional work, painting, drawing, and simple color theory.

MUSIC

Kindergarten students are introduced to basic music concepts which they explore through singing, moving, listening and playing instruments. Their music experiences range from the structure of the steady beat, to the openness of expression and interpretation through music. The kindergarten classes will present a music program later in the school year.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Kindergarten students will be introduced to locomotor skills such as galloping, jumping, running, walking, skipping, hopping, and dancing to music. They will practice these skills through game play and developmental activities. They will also be introduced to basic manipulative skills such as throwing, catching, striking, and kicking. They will work independently, with partners and in small groups.
