Children fulfill their daily jobs, discuss news and events, and are introduced to the “Letter of the Week.” This letter serves as the basis for many activities: filling the class “Letter Box,” making “Letter Lists,” or writing “Silly Sentences.” After snack and outdoor play, children participate in Group Time. Morning Meeting is a wonderful time to build community. This might involve cooking, conducting an experiment, or creating an art project. Two tables in the center of the room offer projects: one involving writing (we use a special program called Handwriting without Tears), and the other on the current unit’s theme.

Units are thematic-often built around Jewish holidays or current events-and skill-building is embedded in every step. Unlike many Kindergarten programs, which lean toward more traditional academics, we intentionally build time for teaching the following intangible but fundamental skills:

Like the Preschool, the Kindergarten is play-based. Akiba-Schechter’s Kindergarten serves as the ideal bridge from Preschool to Elementary School, striking that perfect balance between play and academics.
