St. Angela Merici

 

The classroom environment is designed to stimulate exploration and discovery as children share questions, offer solutions, and expand ideas.  This is accomplished through a variety of creative learning center activities:

  • Religious Awareness and Formation:  Helping the child to become aware of God in every aspect of their lives.  Exposure to church setting, mini prayer services and awareness of God's community of believers.
  • Eurythmics:  Uses music, movement and rhythm to develop sensory motor skills and build a foundation for love of music.
  • TechTots Program:  Introduction to early engineering through integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
  • Fitness Play:  Activities to encourage development of large motor skills (coordination and muscle strength) in an interactive and stimulating environment.
  • Literacy/Language Arts:  Trips to the library to help cultivate the pleasure of reading and love of books.  Reading, writing, speaking and listening are woven into our lesson plans on a daily basis and teach each child strategies for comprehending phonetic reasoning, vocabulary developement, and grammar.
  • Dramatic Play:  Provides social interaction and opportunity for each child to express their individual thoughts and scenario for play.
  • Art:  Art awareness and appreciation dovetails our themed units integrating many/varied types of media.
