[quote=Anonymous]MCPS K teacher here (at a DCUM "top elementary school"--which I find comical as I think there are MANY fantastic MCPS schools beyond the affluent neighborhoods, but I'll save that for a different post)...Poster 22:01 gives some great ideas! I agree that there will be many children who come in without knowing all of their letters. Many of these are children who have had amazing preschool experiences (mostly play based) and are more than ready for kindergarten. They will work on it. I agree about not pushing unless your DD is interested. More importantly, just encourage her to "write"...however that may look for her at her level. One more idea to add to the suggestions from the 22:01 poster, you can write lower case letters in chalk on the sidewalk (or chalkboard easel) and have her "trace" them with a wet paintbrush so that she "washes away" the chalk.
