Kindergarten is an exciting year of learning and growth! Here is a brief overview of our kindergarten year in the classroom:
Religion: Children celebrate their Catholicism and nurture their relationship with Jesus thru daily prayer activities, meditation focuses, liturgical lessons, and also by attending and participating in weekly Mass.
Literacy and Language Development: We focus on building foundational reading and writing skills through storytelling, phonics, and interactive activities. Children learn to recognize letters, sounds, and simple words while fostering a love of reading.
Math: Children are introduced to concepts such as counting, number recognition, basic addition and subtraction, and pattern recognition. We use hands-on activities and games to make learning math fun and engaging.
Science and Exploration: Our science curriculum encourages curiosity and observation through experiments and exploration of the natural world. Topics include animals, plants, weather, and simple physical phenomena.
Social Studies: Children are introduced to basic concepts of community, family, and the environment. Activities include exploring different cultures, traditions, and understanding roles within the community.
Creative Arts: Children have opportunities to express themselves through drawing, painting, sculpting, music, and dance. These activities help develop fine motor skills and support creativity.
Physical Education: Regular physical activities promote coordination, motor skills, and teamwork. Children engage in exercises, games, and activities that encourage a healthy and active lifestyle.
Social and Emotional Growth: Children work at developing social skills, such as sharing, cooperating, and communicating effectively. We also emphasize emotional awareness and resilience, helping children understand and express their feelings.
I believe in creating a supportive and stimulating learning environment where each child can thrive and feel confident. I look forward to partnering with you to make kindergarten a memorable and successful year for your child.

Hello, my name is Kelly Hahn. I am the 5-Year-Old Kindegarten teacher at St. Mary’s School, where previously I have taught 2nd Grade and have worked as the Educational Interventionist. I earned a BS degree from UW-Madison, and a MAE degree from Marian University. My husband Matt and I grew up in Sun Prairie, WI. After living in the suburbs of Minneapolis, Chicago, and Madison, we made our home in Marathon. Our four children all attended St. Mary’s School. When I’m not at school, you can find me spending time with my family, restoring our old home, gardening, supporting the arts, or cheering on the Green Bay Packers and Wisconsin Badgers.
