Kindergarten Readiness Tips!

Do you plan on enrolling your child for kindergarten at Ledges Elementary for the 2023-24 school year? If so, we’d like to share a few signs that show a child is kindergarten-ready:

🍏 Your child can recognize and write letters in their name.

🍎 Your child can count and identify numbers 0-10.

🍏 Your child can name colors and basic shapes.

🍎 Your child can hold and cut a straight line with scissors.

🍏 Your child can independently go to the bathroom (as well as snap/zip/button clothes).

🍎 Your child can follow multi-step directions from adults.

🍏 Your child can self-regulate (identify emotions and control/manage strong emotions).

We encourage our families to work on these skills with their children in preparation for kindergarten. We cannot wait to meet our new kindergarteners and families this fall!
