Kindergarten Kindergarten Adventures Kindergarten students have fun and learn throughout the school year. Teachers at Trindale are committed to providing the best possible education for their students. Teachers follow the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. They strive to provide a safe, caring, and fun atmosphere for their students.
Students learn daily through center interaction and small and large-group instruction.
In the area of communications, there is a strong emphasis on literacy. Students progress from the preliterate stage at the beginning of Kindergarten to the emergent reader stage at the end of Kindergarten. Students learn about concepts of print, upper and lower-case letter recognition, gain phonemic awareness of letters, and begin putting letters together to make words and words together to form sentences. In the area of mathematics, students learn to recognize and use numbers. Kindergarten math programs include developing the skills of counting, estimating, patterning, sorting, comparing, and graphing.
