Kindergarten
By the end of the year your child should be able to:
Recognize and name letters and their sounds and use these skills to build words.
Recognize and name numbers up to 100.
Understand and use numbers 1-20.
Follow directions, get along with others (basic social skills).
You can help at home by:
Play rhyming games.
Practice sight words.
Practice counting objects.
Practice identifying and recognizing numbers.
Practice identifying and saying letter names and sounds.
Create bedtime and morning routines to help your child come to school every day healthy and ready to learn.
Encourage children to go to bed early. At 5-11 years, children need 9-11 hours sleep a night. For example, if your child wakes for school at 7 am and needs approximately 10 hours sleep per night, your child should be in bed before 9 pm.
