Kindergarten Readiness

I always love this time of year! Wednesday, November 19 at 7:00 p.m. is our Lower School Curriculum Night for Prospective Parents. I am so looking forward to hearing from a Senior who began her journey at SSSAS in Kindergarten. As you gather information about schools, events like these can be incredibly helpful and enjoyable. 

On Friday, I had the opportunity to speak to parents about Kindergarten Readiness. I wanted to share some links here. I will be sharing more suggestions in the weeks to come. 

• Storytelling with a Felt Board app - Make up some fun stories with this app. Your child will have a blast using their imagination.

• Letter and Number Formation with Handwriting Without Tears app - Your child may actually be using Handwriting Without Tears in Preschool. Our students use this curriculum and love it!

• Favorite Authors: Dr. Seuss, Mo Willems, Shell Silverstein, Mother Goose

• A Favorite Alphabet Book: LMNO Peas, by Keith Baker

• A Favorite Number Book: One Gorilla, A Counting Book, by Anthony Browne

• 2014 Notable Children's Books:  http://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/notalists/ncb

Have a great week!

Sincerely,

Katherine
