Kindergarten at Resurrection St. Paul School
At Resurrection St. Paul School, our Kindergarten program is designed to lay a solid foundation for success in Elementary School and beyond. We emphasize instilling a love of learning in our students through developmentally appropriate, hands-on activities that promote growth socially, academically, spiritually, and physically.
Our comprehensive program covers a range of subjects including Religion, Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Spanish, Technology, Library, Music, Physical Education, and Art. In Language Arts, we use a phonics-based approach with a strong focus on literature, while in Math, Science, Social Studies, and Art, manipulatives and cooperative learning groups are utilized daily to enhance understanding.
Religion is integrated into daily lessons, emphasizing values such as sharing and kindness. By providing a well-rounded and engaging curriculum, we ensure that our Kindergarten students are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities that await them in Elementary School.

- Express their thoughts and ideas using new vocabulary taught in the classroom

Religion
Catholic Schools have the unique educational purpose of presenting a Catholic worldview to our students. At Immaculate Heart of Mary School, a Catholic worldview is a way of looking at the world through a Catholic Church lens, derived from Catholic Church teachings, scripture, and Catholic Church traditions. “Bringing Good News” is the Archdiocese of Baltimore Religion Curriculum for Elementary Schools. This standards-based curriculum serves as a guide for both teachers and students as they embark on a journey, which will provide them with the knowledge and understanding of the faith as witnessed in the teachings and the traditions of the Catholic Church.
Mathematics
Children will represent their mathematical understandings in ways that are meaningful to them – for example, by writing or drawing on paper, by using pictures and/or numbers and some words, by using materials such as blocks or counters, or by using electronic media such as applications on tables.
By the end of Kindergarten our students are able to:
- Recognize number names and the count sequence
- Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from
- Describe and compare measurable attributes
- Sort and classify objects and count the number of objects in each category
- Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes
