Welcome to the K 5 Web Page

Hello! I'm Mrs. Melissa (Missy) Wright. Welcome to the Kindergarten's age 5 web page.

We use the "ABEKA" curriculum, which is phonics based, and hard work. Our day starts with Bible as the first class. We sing songs, learn Bible verses, and hear about the great and wondrous stories of the Bible and how they affect us today.

K5 (5 YEAR OLD KINDERGARTEN)

The K5 class continues the phonics learned in K4. From the long and short sounds of vowels, they learn additional sight words, and begin special sounds. They will continue in numbers, learning addition/subtraction, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc., numbers before and after, and other great math facts. Added to the K5 curriculum are Social Studies and Science. In Social Studies, the children learn about our great country "America". They will also take a trip (around the world) meeting a new friend to help them tour each country. The science book is always well received in the 2nd semester. They not only learn about God's wonders, but are also able to read this book by themselves. The K5 class graduates from Kindergarten to Elementary School(1st grade). All the K classes have nap time. For K4 and K5 this time is also used for extra help, or lessons that need to be extended into the afternoon.

THANK YOU FOR VISITING ZION CHRISTIAN SCHOOL'S WEBSITE AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ABUNDANTLY.

MISSION STATEMENT

It is the Mission of Zion Christian School to provide the people of our diverse low-income community, whose children attend our school, with a higher standard of education emphasizing academic excellence thereby enabling them to secure and improve their community socially, economically, and spiritually.
In accomplishing this mission, the Church School is utilizing the “A Beka Book” curriculum produced at Pensacola Christian College, Pensacola, Florida (established in 1974) due to the reputable history it has earned since it was first incorporated into the education of children in 1954 in Pensacola Christian Academy (formally, Pensacola Christian School). The A Beka Book curriculum has earned the respect of teachers across the country for its tendency to far exceed the requirements of public school systems. When compared by the Stanford Achievement Tests, students taught under this curriculum acquire consistently higher scores than the overall national test average, which includes scores from students of public schools as well as other private schools.
Zion Christian School will operate and maintain its goal to offer our children a learning opportunity that is not only free of gang and drug activities but that will also enhance their emotional growth and education, development opportunities in Physical Education, Technical Sciences, and the Arts. This will enable them to meet the challenge of an increasingly competitive environment.
Zion Christian School is a daughter organization of Lighthouse Baptist Church under the General Not for Profit Corporation Act of the State of Illinois in 1974, and is a 501 (c) (3) organization.
