Kindergarten
Our Sunday Visitor: I Am Special
Religion class in Kindergarten supports parents in educating their
children about their faith, helping children to develop positive
attitudes about themselves, their families, and friends by
discovering and learning more about the many gifts, talents, and
abilities that God has provided. Themes include, “God made me
special,” “God made the world around me,” “I am thankful to God,”
and “God made my friends special,
too.” Students learn about the church’s liturgical seasons of
Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter, and learn about the life,
miracles and death of Jesus. Students learn that God forgives and
loves us as they develop their friendship with Jesus. Students hear
Old Testament stories, and stories about Mary the mother of Jesus,
St. Joseph, St. Francis and St. Nicholas.
Prayer: Students pray together
daily, using various prayer experiences. Students will learn about
prayers of gratitude, praise and petition. Students are introduced
to formal prayers including the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.
Masses: Kindergartners
participate in a special way (singing, processions, etc) in one of
the monthly all school Masses.
