Kindergarten is the most AMAZING year in a child’s educational journey (in my opinion). They will be learning so many foundational academic skills…..how to read, write, add, subtract, and much more. They will also learn foundational social and emotional skills…..how to follow routines, play together, achieve goals, and participate in conversations.
In order to facilitate optimal growth, we will work on cultivating our Tools for School:
· Controlling our bodies
· Controlling our voices
· Using our imaginations
· Building our stamina for concentration
· Developing our understanding of and skills for cooperation
We rely on developing appropriate behavior through our common language and focus on our Tools for School. Additionally, we have created classroom environments to ensure a sense of safety and connection for every student. We are excited to grow together as a SCHOOL FAMILY this year.
We will use fun, age-appropriate ways to provide feedback to students on their progress to encourage their growth and efforts (we do not give grades in kindergarten).
We are excited about an AWESOME kindergarten year with your child and your family.
