Kindergarten at WISH Charter - Designed with your Child
in Mind.
The Kindergarten Program at WISH Charter Elementary emphasizes
individualized instruction tailored to students academic, emotional
and sociocultural needs. Using technology, project based learning,
and a constructivist approach, WISH's Kindergarten program makes
learning relevant and engaging for a wide array of students.
Student voice is regularly honored in kindergarten. Students are
often asked "What do you want to know about the world?" and "How do
you want to acquire this knowledge?" Through song and dance,
technology and art, scientific inquiry and historical study,
kindergarteners learn about the plants, animals and people of the
past and present. At WISH, we regularly practice the
skills that are the foundation of instruction- reading, writing and
mathematics. However, our students do not simply learn letters and
numbers, they apply their knowledge regularly through letter and
story writing. Students are not only empowered to learn the
rudiments of language, they are empowered to write and share their
own stories, and books, if they choose. In Kindergarten, we work
together to provide instruction that is standards based, but
designed with your child in mind.
