Welcome to the Kindergarten Class

The Kindergarten program at Saint Gabriel School is a full day program with recess, nap time (for the first half of the year until December), and also a snack time in the morning.

The Kindergarten has two rooms: One is a regular classroom, meant to introduce and practice new skills. The second room is to reinforce/extend those skills through the use of Learning Centers. Learning Centers consist of Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Art, Listening, and Community/Home Living.

The Kindergarten's academic program is based on the State of Connecticut and the Archdiocese of Hartford guidelines and requirements.

The Kindergarten's curriculum includes the following: Religion/Family Life, Reading, Writing, Phonics, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Art, Gym, Music, and Computer Science.

The Kindergarten religion program recognizes the uniqueness of each child and instills a sense of belonging to family, home, school, church and community.

The kindergarten Language arts program provides multisensory approach. A daily class meeting reinforces oral language, grammar, math and a sense of community at school. We also meet weekly with the 3rd grade class. These are called are "Book Buddies." Our buddies help the kindergartners practice a new reading skill or read to the younger students.

The Kindergarten Math program develops number skills and concepts using a multi-sensory approach. We try to integrate math, reading, and science when possible.

The kindergarten Social Studies program expands the child's world to include the people in their family, school and community.

The Kindergarten program also includes 40 minutes a week for each of the following specials: Art, Physical Education, Music, Library, and Computer Science.
