What children in a public school do in kindergarden

This is a sample of some of the things a child will do in K in a public school in California.  Of course, all public schools are different.  This school is in alignment with standards and this is based on the 2012-2013 school year, just to give a peak.

What K students did in 2013 in a sample public school:

*2 singing programs a year

*Learn how to add to 20

*Learn how to estimate

*Learn how to tell time

*Teacher will say numbers such as "3,6,9,12," and students will repeat.

*Students will learn to write, many times teachers will now use the document camera

* Students will be asked to draw a picture of themselves, this will sometimes go in their portfolio

*Students will learn to count, starting with 1 to 10 and extending to 30.  Students will be shown random number cards and will be asked what they are.  For example, "What number is this?"

*Students will learn lower and upper case letters.  Students will be shown random lower and upper case  letter cards and will be asked what they are.  For example, "What letter is this?"

*Students will do a directed drawing

*Students will do journal writing, such as naming and telling

*Students will given a word such as snake, and the teacher will point to the s and ask, "What letter is that?"
