Me and My World

Happy September!

Your kindergarten teachers are busy assessing each student individually with a variety of tools. It is essential that we have a clear understanding of each child's level of development as we begin our year together.
Some of the skills assessed include the following:

• Letter recognition and sounds
• Sight word recognition
• Number recognition and concept to 20
• Fine motor skills
• Personal information (such as full name, address, phone number, and birthday)
• The ability to listen and follow directions
• The ability to work independently

At this time, kindergarten students should be able to recognize all of the alphabet letters and be able to provide the majority of their sounds. They should also be able to recognize numbers one to twenty and be able to count to 100 by ones and tens.

My Name Is...

Our kindergarteners are enjoying many games and activities to help us get to know each other. We are making several books and charts with photos of our classmates to help us recognize our friends and their names.
