Overview

Overview

Week One of our Kindergarten Curriculum is all about building connection, confidence, and joy through simple, playful experiences. Children begin the week by exploring movement and teamwork through the Animal Movement Relay, where they hop, slither, gallop, and flutter like different animals, boosting coordination and encouraging classmates to cheer each other on. They then move into gentle emotional learning with Who Am I?, drawing their families and sharing something special about the people they love. This activity nurtures creativity, builds language skills, and helps children feel safe and proud of who they are.

The week continues by blending imagination with movement in Old MacDonald Had a Fitness Farm, a playful story-based workout that gets bodies moving and minds engaged. Students finish the week by turning kindness into a habit through our Random Acts of Kindness Challenge, where each child completes a simple act of kindness and reflects on how it made someone else feel. Together, these activities lay the foundation for a supportive, connected classroom community. Children learn to express themselves, move confidently, care for others, and discover the joy of learning through play, setting a warm and upbeat tone for the year ahead.
