The Kindergarten Skills your child must become familiar with.

Knowing your childs Kindergarten Skills requirements is a great way to keep an eye on how they are doing throughout the year! Keep in mind however

this is a kindergartners curriculum for the entire year. Depending on the teachers scope and sequence for the year, will determine what your student has

actually covered. Don't be surprised in December, if your child still isn't familiar with a Bar Graph. This may not have been covered by the teacher yet!

I have taken these grade expectatoins from Washington State OSPI
