Taking a class last night and learned something interesting things about what kindergarten teachers are now wanting kids to know before coming to Kindergarten.
Ten things to prepare for Kindergarten
1. Two step direction
2. Taking turns & cooperating
3. POTTY TRAINED
4. Know Letter/Numbers
5. Handle Seperation anxiety
6. Be comfortable around other adults & children
7. Make simple decisions
8. Handle rountines
9. Do things for self
10. EAT LUNCH W/OUT HELP
A kindergarten teacher also told me that if kids could write there names in Capital and lower case letters that would safe teachers so much time. Kids need to come in ready for first grade not kindergarten. Simply standing in line, sharing, doing basic stuff doesn't help anymore as the teachers have so much more to teach now in kindergarten that the more the kids know the better it is for the teachers.
In Order to be Ready to Learn Children Need to:
1. Feel good about themselves
2. Know how to get along with others
3. How to talk WITH-NOT AT others
4. How to listen when others talk

I learned alot at this class and know it will help tremendously with my class and classroom.
