The junior kindergarten (JK) program provides students with the readiness skills for
kindergarten. Classes are limited to sixteen students and are staffed by a teacher
and an assistant. In language arts students will be introduced to the printed word
in books, letters and sound recognition, reading strategies, sight words, following
directions, and writing skills. Basic math is explored in number recognition,
money, classifying, sorting, size and shape comparison, ordinal numbers, greater than,
less than, and equal.to. Students also study units in social studies and science.
Jr. Kindergarten students enjoy resource classes which include Spanish, technology,
music, P.E., art, and library. Field trips are planned around the curriculum as well
as seasonal events. The playground facilities, located adjacent to the main
building, have age appropriate equipment for recess fun.
In keeping with St. Luke's mission statement of providing a superior college preparatory
education in a Christian environment, daily devotions are an integral component of
the curriculum and weekly chapel services are attended by students and staff.
The Kindergarten Program at St. Luke's is designed to extend the skills previously learned
in the pregrades and/or Junior Kindergarten with activities that respond to the various needs of learners in the classroom.
Every child is challenged to work to the highest level of learning, through small and whole group
instruction, hands on experimentation, journal writing, music, reading groups, physical education,
cooking projects, and role playing.
Kindergarten classes are limited to sixteen students. Each classroom offers a variety of math and
language arts manipulatives, and learning centers. During circle time, math and language arts concepts
are introduced through reviewing the calendar, reading stories, skip counting, and presenting skits.
