Kindergarten is a year of amazing development in these areas:
• Social skills- learning how to interact productively as they become more social.
• Conflict resolution- learning how to problem solve effectively and independently with peers.
• Life skills- learning how to be independent in self-care and work management.
• Community skills- learning how to function as a positive and productive member of the group.

Play
“Play is the only way the highest
intelligence of humankind can
unfold.” Joseph Chilton Pearce
![Page 14: 2012 open house_](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54709288b4af9fcd0a8b47f5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still
differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between
them.” Leo F. Buscaglia

How to Help Your Child At Home• Read to/with your child daily. Try to make it as fun as possible!
An important goal is to get your child to love reading and to see the magic in books. Model good reading behaviors (like asking questions, thinking out loud) and talk about books together.
• Be an active learner yourself! Let your child see you reading, writing, exploring, and problem solving. Explain what you are doing and why you are doing it. Involve them if possible.
• Take the time to marvel at nature! Stop and smell the flowers (literally), look at beautiful scenery, lay in the grass and watch the clouds pass. Explain about the parts of nature you are familiar with and ask questions together about things you don’t understand.
