Kindergarten

In kindergarten, every classroom activity is designed to cultivate cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy and self-control, guiding children toward positive peer interactions and emotional resilience. Kindergartners begin to navigate the classroom community by learning to share roles and materials, take turns, and invite peers to play. They start to name basic emotions, admit mistakes and apologize when prompted, recognize and respect differences among classmates, and practice waiting and persisting when tasks become challenging.

At the kindergarten level, Louisiana standards foreground holistic readiness, integrating early learning domains with emerging academic content.

Print Concepts & Letter Recognition: Students hold books correctly, follow text directionality, and recognize and name all upper- and lowercase letters.

Phonological Awareness: Children recognize and produce rhymes, count and segment syllables in spoken words, and blend onsets and rimes in single-syllable words.

Phonics & Phonetic Spelling: Learners write letters to represent consonant and vowel sounds, and spell simple words phonetically to demonstrate grapheme–phoneme.

Comprehension & Expression: With prompting, students ask and answer questions about key details, retell familiar narratives, and link illustrations to text.

Emergent Writing: Drawing, dictating, and writing letters or letter clusters allow children to express ideas in writing.

Early Literacy

Counting & Cardinality: Kindergarteners count to 100 by ones and tens, write numerals to 20, and answer “how many?” questions by counting sets.

Operations & Equations: They engage in joining and separating object sets and represent simple addition/subtraction situations with objects or drawings.

Measurement & Geometry: Students describe measurable attributes (e.g., length), compare object sizes, and identify basic shapes in their environment.

Early Numeracy

Scientific Inquiry: Young learners observe the natural world, ask questions, and describe phenomena in age-appropriate terms.

Science Foundations

Social Understanding: Students begin to recognize their roles within family and community contexts, fostering early social studies awareness.
