“Speak to your children as if they are the wisest, kindest, most beautiful and magical humans on earth, for what they believe is what they will become. “ Brooke Hampton
Hello Kindergarten Families,
My name is Mrs. Janice Viscardi, and I am so blessed to be here at Visitation Academy. As we embark on our kindergarten journey, I am so excited to explore, learn and grow together with enchanting experiences and engaging child-centered activities.
At Visitation Academy, we believe that all children are gifts from God. In our classroom, we will create a nurturing and inclusive faith filled environment where every child feels valued and safe. We will focus on building foundational skills, developing social- emotional growth, fostering independence and encouraging creativity.
Each magical day will begin with circle and calendar time where we will sing, pray and review skills such as: reading, rhyming, letter sounds, word families, sight words, and counting. We will also have weekly centers which may include iPads, stem activities, math, reading and language skills. Centers will provide opportunities throughout the week for enrichment as well as differentiation of lessons. In addition, our classroom Promethean Board will be used to support many of our lessons. Kindly refer to the kindergarten curriculum for more specific skills that we will learn in each core subject.
Please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have any further questions. Let’s work together to make this an amazing year of learning and discovery! I can’t wait to meet you!
❤️Mrs. Viscardi
