Kattungarna is the youngest class at the Swedish School in Atlanta, and students starts when they are 4 years of age. The class is led by teachers, Elin and Sandra. As most of our children cannot read or write, we, we include a lot of games, puzzles, flash cards, and mini projects into our lessons time. We also try to keep the Swedish tradition by singing various children’s songs, ending our class with a Swedish story of the children’s choice or a Swedish cartoon. Throughout the year, we will have various themes each week, such as, the alphabet, animals, foods, days of the week, colors, body parts and many more.
This class is offered to Pre-K / 4-year-old children. Students who have been in Nyckelpigorna in the previous school year and are turning 4 years during fall semester will be evaluated by the teacher (Nyckelpigorna) to see if they are ready to be placed in Kattungarna. This will be based on student’s level of independence and understanding of Swedish language (potty trained is required). This will be decided before the end of the school year and communicated to the parents.
