Kindergarten is a joyous learning time. As such, the primary goal of kindergarten is to learn to absolutely love school. When children feel safe, nurtured and loved, they thrive academically as well as socially and emotionally. In September, we work together to create a safe loving environment for one another. We learn the expected behaviors and routines, and we learn about one another and how to best care for one another.

In addition to the subjects we are studying as a class, I am working individually with chidren to assess their concept of number, letter identification and sounds. The children needing extra practice are given those opportunities, while children with a more thorough understanding have opportunities to explore other concepts.
