indergarten begins where Preschool leaves off.
The first few weeks of Kindergarten is largely a review of what was done throughout the Preschool program. However, there are some differences that the students will notice right away. Unlike Preschool, Kindergarten curriculum is almost entirely based on texts.
They no longer have Sharing time, Activities, or a structured Library time. Students will need help staying focused. Classroom management and
gentle discipline will be needed during this transition period. Gradually, students will become accustomed to the new routine and adjust to their new expectations. By the time students reach Kindergarten, a certain level of language
proficiency and behavior should be expected. |

Students should already be familiar with POLY School rules of behavior, and with certain areas of our curriculum. For example, the phonics book used in Kindergarten is a continuation of the text they used in Preschool. Computers and Gym should already be routine for them, although we should be expecting more from them now. These areas should be more challenging, but remain fun. As for behavior, students should always follow POLY School rules, such as speaking English and not running. They should be able to communicate their needs and concerns without hesitation. Kindergarten students will go on to our Special Grade 1 and Grade 2 classes where they will not only study a Returnee curriculum, but they will also study additional subjects to help them catch up
with their actual Returnee counterparts. You are also preparing your students, most of whom have had their first educational experience at POLY, to enter public school after completing the Kindergarten year. |

The Kindergarten curriculum is more serious than what you would find in an equivalent grade level in North America. Students study reading, phonics, science, and writing on a daily basis. In addition, they continue with the Computer and Gym classes they had and enjoyed in Preschool, though the games and activities are designed to hone their fine motor skills as well as foundation in English (through Edutainment programs).
