Individualized Learning in a Montessori Environment
At Oak Grove Montessori in Oakland CA, the Montessori Kindergarten / Transitional Kindergarten program is a continuation of the Montessori Preschool Program, with a focus on individualized learning, strengthening core concepts and foundation, recognizing areas of growth opportunity, and fostering deeper learning in the individual’s areas of strengths.
The continued beauty of Montessori education is the ability to assist each child on their individual educational journey. This unique method of teaching allows our highly skilled educators to identify areas where children need support—while providing activities and concepts that challenge them to dive deeper in their understanding.
Language, Reading & Writing
From phonics and word-building to early reading and journaling, children develop strong communication skills through hands-on, step-by-step learning.
Phonics Foundations
Teachers assess each child’s understanding of phonics, beginning and ending sounds, and word building.
Sight Words & Early Reading
Children practice memorizing and utilizing sight words as they move into beginning reading.
Journaling
Children are introduced to journaling and learn to express their thoughts on paper with supportive, manageable steps.
Beautiful Writing, Built Step-by-Step
Taking ideas from mind to paper can be challenging at this age. With initial teacher support, children break writing into clear steps and create beautiful journals throughout the year.
Montessori Transitional Kindergarten Mathematics Program
In the area of Mathematics, children work on assigning quantity to the numeral, beginning with simple addition and continuing through simple multiplication (depending on interest).
Children also work with clocks to read the hour, half-hour, and beyond on both digital and analog clocks.
They may explore money concepts—understanding relationships such as pennies to a dollar and other practical applications.
