- Summary:
-
Kindergarten marks a new beginning for parent and child, and presents challenges for parents as their child makes the transition from home to school. This handbook provides a description of what parents can expect of their child's Catholic kindergarten program in Alberta, Canada. It describes how young children learn, how learning is assessed, and how parents can be involved. The first sections of the handbook discuss: (1) "What Are Young Children Like?" exploring social, physical, creative, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual development; and (2) "What Do Children Learn in Kindergarten?" including religious education, language arts, mathematics, community and environmental awareness, personal and social responsibility, physical skills and well-being, and creative and cultural expression. The remaining sections of the handbook discuss: (1) "How do young children learn?"; (2) "What will you see in the kindergarten area?"; (3) "How and why is children's learning assessed in kindergarten?"; (4) "How will the Kindergarten meet students' special needs?"; (5) "How will the kindergarten program help prepare children for Grade 1?"; and (6) "How can parents be involved?" The handbook concludes with questions parent may want to ask the teacher and a one-page questionnaire asking for feedback about the handbook. (HTH)
