Houston Elementary School

Kindergarten Expectations

·     Our kindergarten program is uniquely adapted to the needs and interests of the five year old.

·     We try to teach the whole child. We provide activities that develop mind, body, and spirit. This includes all areas of physical, intellectual, social, and emotional development.

·     Kindergarten is not a downward extension of first grade! The readiness activities provided in kindergarten prepare your child for first grade where formal reading begins. The equipment, materials, and activities in our kindergarten are adapted to accommodate readiness in stages of reading and writing.

Please call or email to schedule a conference with your child’s teacher. Teachers will check emails and and phone messages afterschool each day but might not be able to reply until the next day during their conference period.
