Three Year Old Class
Devotions
Each morning classes gather for a time of Devotions where children learn scripture and the Westminster Shorter Catechism through sign language and song.
Discovery
God’s creation is the subject of our Discovery Curriculum, incorporating Science, Humanities, and Bible. Our Discovery lessons are interactive and exploratory. Children explore creation through a variety of activities such as experiments, projects, and art, and learn to see God’s glory in all of it! Our 3s students learn specifically about water, land, and sky, and what fills them.
Language Arts
Mustard Seed offers a language rich environment crucial for language and literacy development. Hundreds of books are read each year. Language Arts in our 3s classes encompasses a variety of prereading and prewriting skills including, but not limited to, the recognition of letters and sounds, nursery rhymes, poems, and parts of a story. We also incorporate activities to develop fine motor skills which are essential for reading and writing development.
Math
Math activities focus on number and shape recognition, counting, patterns, positional words, sequencing, calendar, and other areas of TN Early Learning Developmental Math Standards.
El Pueblo
El Pueblo is our dramatic play area. Our schedule is designed to incorporate a balance between direct instruction and dramatic free play. El Pueblo houses fun, interactive areas like a grocery store, home living, restaurant, work bench, and puppet theater. Children participate in fun, rotating, interactive centers that coordinate with other curriculum areas. These include a space station, entomology lab, recording studio, vet center, and apple orchard.
