At Barnesville, children have many opportunities to explore, discover, and play. They learn language arts, math, science, social studies, and art through hands-on activities, large- and small-group instruction, and individual teacher support. Children arrive at various stages of academic readiness, but with patience and time, they all experience the joy of reading, writing, and creating. Some children jump into academics with ease, while others need the extra time and attention that experienced teachers and small classes can provide. Likewise, children come with different levels of physical, social, and emotional maturity. During the year, they learn to negotiate, compromise, and empathize through example and role-playing activities. Regular physical exercise is provided to strengthen growing bodies and encourage sportsmanship. As the year progresses, it is wonderful to watch these children flourish in all areas. Every day provides ample time for free play and recess, too. Most of all, in Kindergarten we have FUN!
