Additions to the Curriculum
Arts Education
The arts is a vital part of a young child’s growth and development so we make it a priority in our curriculum.
All of our students take music classes twice a week.
Music with Ms. Anne
This is a performance class that breaks down the components of musical theater and teaches the students how to combine singing, dancing and acting into a cohesive piece. Children at all levels are exposed to classic and contemporary music theater, many styles of dance and movement, and the use of instruments and props. We encourage confidence-building by working with the microphone and performing for our classmates. We also learn how to be supportive of our peers and their unique abilities as active listeners and audience members.
If scheduling allows we also perform a school wide show at the end of the year for families to attend!
Spanish
We know the best time for a child to learn another language is in the first three to four years of life.
At the SCCNS, we introduce the students to Spanish as a developmental tool and an important way to explore cultural diversity. Beginning in the 3s, all students participate in Spanish language classes once per week. Language is organized by themes, and children will learn words based on those themes. Children may sing songs in Spanish, color worksheets emphasizing the words they’re learning that week, talk about food and culture of various Spanish cultures, and explore various instruments, dances and traditions in Spanish.
