Junior Kindergarten at Lexington Latin School
Curriculum
Jr. Kindergarten at LLS is more than a preschool.
We teach the following subjects and skills in our program:
Calendar: Days of the week, months, and seasons
Bible: We read The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones and memorize Bible verses.
Phonics: Sounds of the alphabet, recognition and writing of letters
Math: Counting to 10, recognition and writing of numbers, counting by 2's and 10's, developing critical thinking concepts (before, after, between, more, less, etc.), patterns, shapes, colors, and money
Monthly Themes: Kentucky, Animals, Human Body, Knights and Castles, Weather, Vikings, Plants, and Insects
Author Studies: Cynthia Rylant, Eric Carle, Else Minarik, Jan Brett, Dr. Seuss, Beatrix Potter, and C.W. Anderson
Artist Studies: Vincent Van Gogh, Georges Seurat, Georges Rouault, Michelangelo, Henri Matisse, Vassili Kandinsky, and Pablo Picasso
Age Requirements
LLS Jr. K serves families and children who will turn five during the school year or who potentially could go to Kindergarten but need an extra year to mature.
Students should be four years of age by August 1 of the calendar year attending. If the birthday is later than May 31st, the student can be tested and accepted on an individual basis.
A Typical Day at Jr. K
Each day we have recitation, calendar, bible, and phonics first thing in the morning. Students then have P.E. for 30 minutes. We have show and tell, letter-of-the-week crafts, and math before lunch. We eat lunch together. In the afternoons, we have a theme for the month and an author or artist study for which we read books, draw in our narration journals, make crafts, write stories, and create artwork. Students also have recess and rest time every day.
