Welcome to Corpus Christi! I hope the school year has gotten off to a great start for your child and family. Kindergarten is a special 2 year program and I look forward to working with you as partners in your child's education!
Please check our classroom bog regularly as I will post pictures and other bits of information about the learning that is taking place in the classroom.
The Kindergarten program at Corpus Christi is a Full Day Learning program that focuses on building a strong foundation of learning through play. We provide a classroom environment that is conductive to learning, that helps meet the developmental needs of each child. We provide a variety of learning opportunities throughout the day. At any given moment, the students may be learning by making discoveries, exploring or investigating either independently or guided by one of the teachers in the classroom.
"Play is a vehicle for learning and lies at the core of innovation and creativity..." (Full Day Early Learning Kindergarten Program, pg. 17)
When children are playing they are: analyzing, asking questions, creating, cooperating, developing, discovering, discussing, evaluating, expanding their vocabulary, experimenting, exploring, investigating, inquiring, learning, listening to others, manipulating, noticing, observing, planning, reflecting, sharing, solving programs, teaching, thinking and wondering!
