Math
Here are some expectations as your child leaves kindergarten and prepares for first grade. This list may give you some areas to practice or expand on this summer. Children should be able to:
* count beyond 100, by 2's to 20, by 5's and 10's to 100.
*make a number story using a picture and a number sentence with addition and subtraction.
*read two-digit numbers and have a basic understanding of exchanging ones and tens.
*identify measuring tools and their uses. (thermometer, ruler calendar, clock, watch)
*Identify pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters and work on values
*identify spheres, cubes, and the basic 2 dimensional shapes.
*understand patterns and sorting.
Reading is the one area that children have enjoyed this year. Continue to read to your child every day and visit the library and book store to let them select things they enjoy. For harder book, have children point out words that they know. For books that they can read, do a picture walk through the book first to see what they story may be about. Use vocabulary that may be challenge words in the story. Than read and reread many times to improve fluencey.
