  1. Kindergarten Orientation May 14, 2019

  2. Orientation Information • Welcome!  • Our Day • Curriculum- • Science, Social Studies, ELA, and Math • How can I help my child prepare for Kindergarten?

  3. Social Expectations for Kindergarten • Follow directions given • Being able to sit on the carpet and keep self to self with movement breaks • Walking quietly in the hallway • Self- care tasks such as: using bathroom independently, washing hands, blowing nose, learning to tie shoes, buttoning and zippering (sending in an extra set of clothes) • Wear tennis shoes every day (recess or PE) • Problem solving- using words to express how they feel instead of actions • Sharing • Properly getting a teacher’s or peer’s attention

  4. Promoting Positive Peer Social Interactions Peer interactions are extremely important for Kindergartners: Throughout the entire day they watch, imitate, model, and interact with each other. Kindergarteners learn to share, collaborate, and solve problems. Positive social interactions come easily to some children, but not for everyone. As teachers we are here to support your child and model positive behavior socially and emotionally. Skills can be taught by: • Explaining the skill • Demonstrating the correct way to use it • Demonstrating the incorrect way and letting the children figure out what step was missing • Letting a child practice with an adult/peer • Providing positive feedback and attention on use of the skills Think to yourself: How can you help promote your child’s social development this summer?
