Preparing For Kindergarten

Some of the entry level skills your child should be successful at when they enter Kindergarten are:

    saying his/her first and last name
    printing his/her first name
    holding a pencil correctly
    holding and using scissors
    sitting quietly for 10-15 minutes
    naming the four basic shapes(circle, square, triangle, rectangle)
    naming the eight basic colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, and black)
    begin recognizing letters of the alphabet
    begin recognizing numbers 1-10
    saying the alphabet


In order to help your child prepare for Kindergarten, we have a calendar with practice items for each day. The activities are not difficult and will take only a few minutes . There are flash cards you can print out to help you with these activities. We suggest that you get a few additional supplies in order to complete these activities:

1. box of crayons-eight basic colors
2. box of chalk
3. pair of scissors (fiscar work well)
4. package of pencils

We hope you find these activities fun and helpful.
