Kindergarten News Room 5 


Welcome to St. Mary Kindergarten . Our program is committed to a philosophy which centers on the development of the "whole child". Our goal is to provide a safe and nuturing Christian environment that promotes physical, social-emotional, cognitive, linguistic and spiritual growth for every child, while also attempting to be sensitive to the needs and preferences of our families and the larger St. Mary community.

Thematic unit on the Gingerbread Man (This is one of my favorites.)

The students will hear several different versions of the Gingerbread Man, including two versions of the original story, The Cajun Gingerbread Man, The Runaway Ricecake and The Gingerbread Baby .

The children will compare and contrast the various versions, make gingerbread man patterns and rewrite parts of the story. We will graph our favorite versions.
