Most children develop in spurts. Do not be
alarmed if your child is not excelling in every
area.
The Third Grade Guarantee
Students monitored closely to check reading
progress.
Parents notified if student is “on track” and “not on
track” in October.
What Will My Child Learn in Kindergarten?
Today kindergarten has a much greater focus on academics than ever before.
It includes hands-on learning and problem solving, independent reading,
writing, mathematics, science, social studies and health.
Additional information will be shared during curriculum nights.
Getting Ready
What can you do with your child to prepare for kindergarten?
Count objects to 100 and read numbers in the world around us
Learn to say their full name and write their first name
Learn their phone number and address
Name objects with a specific attribute, for example name something blue in
your house or something that is shaped like a square
Listen to a story and retell it in your own words
Put a puzzle together
Tie shoes, button buttons, zip zippers, snap snaps
Say the alphabet and practice capital and lower case letters
But…
How?
