As parents, it is our job to worry about our children and making sure that we advocate for them and their education. We can only do this effectively if we know what is expected of our children at specific milestones in their lives.
Keeping in mind that each child is unique and reaches milestones in their own time. Here are some general skills that your Kindergartner should know by the end of the year.
