This month in kindergarten we have been learning a lot about shapes and most children are showing that they know their basic shapes.  We have also moved on to number and the students are learning to relate an amount to the written numeral.  We are in the early stages of the alphabet which focuses most on experiences with the alphabet and recognizing some letters in their own names.  As your child starts to write his/her name at home please encourage lower case letters except for their initial letter, this is new for many students.  The full day is starting to feel normal to the children as they settle into our routines.
