  1. Getting Ready For Kindergarten

  2. Top Five Pieces of Advice • Make sure students get plenty of rest. • Students need to have a good, healthy breakfast. 3. Ask them about their day. Ask for details. Language is a big part of kindergarten. • Don’t push too much at home. Paper/Pencil homework isn’t always needed. Homework and practice shouldn’t last more than 20 minutes. 5. Try to give your child as many experiences as possible. The more prior knowledge they have the better.

  3. Language Students need to hear and understand spoken language. Students need to communicate easily with other children and adults. Students need to use sentences that give detail and are grammatically correct. Students need to tell a story that stick to topic. Students need to pay attention to stories and answer simple questions about them. (who, where, when, what, why)

  4. Literacy • Balanced Literacy Program • Shared Reading – Big Books and Poems • Read Aloud • Writing – Shared, Guided, Interactive, and Independent (Six Traits of Writing) How to help at home: Read bedtime stories and ask questions Practice alphabet (recognition and letter sounds) Keep journals or diaries for free writing

  5. Common Core Standards • Number Sense – reading & writing numbers, counting, comparing numbers • Calendar – Days of the week, Months, Weather • Exemplars – Story problems (problem solving and explaining your thinking) • How to help at home • Have students count items or make sets (setting the table) • Empty wallet or piggy bank and sort coins • Sort legos (blocks, cars, buttons, etc) in multiple ways (color, size, shape) • Flashcards • Positional words (before, after, above, below, etc)

  6. Science • We use Foss and Delta Science Modules • There are 3 units we cover through the year • Animals Two By Two • How Do We Learn • Finding the Moon

  7. Fine Motor Skills We use Handwriting Without Tears to teach letter and number formation. Students are asked to use a tripod grasp, use one dominant hand, hold scissors correctly, and dress themselves. • How to help at home: • Have students cut out coupons for you • Play Doh • Squirt Bottles • Use tweezers or chop sticks to pick up items • Play dress-up to practice buttoning, snapping, and zipping

  8. Things To Do Together Students need to have prior knowledge to relate to stories and write their own stories. Places to go: Zoo Museum Park Farm Sporting Events Carnival Library Movie Activities to do: Chalk drawings Puzzles Board games Baking Play sports Have a picnic Read books Try new foods
