Kindergarten provides students with an opportunity to learn basic academic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. In addition, the students develop social skills through creative activities, learning centers, art projects, and music.

Your student will be expected to know their name, address, telephone number, and birthday. Students will master tying their shoes. Students will also practice rhyming words, hear lots of nursery rhymes, recognize the letters of the alphabet and eventually read. In Math, students learn shapes, recognize numbers, tell time to the hour, measure objects and eventually add and subtract numbers.

We have provided some videos from the non-profit, GreatSchools! that explain what to look for to determine if your student is on track, along with some videos on how to tell if your child is mastering the essential skills taught in kindergarten.
