[QUOTE="april1974, post: 440253, member: 12128"] Hi Janet, kids in Ontario(Canada) must be 4 or turning 4 by Dec 31 to enter Junior Kindergarden...my boys were 4 when they entered JK turned 5 in January and now this fall they will be 5 1/2 entering kindergarden turning 6 in january, bang on for age. M knows all the alphabet upper and lower case, knows his numbers and can dial a phone, can spell his name, academically he's fine, his issues are more social in nature, aggression being the most worrisome, he's "busy" very curious, lot's of energy, he's a handful, but very bright. E knows some of the alphabet, can not dial a phone, does not know numbers, he is very very stuborn but is bright, and when you think he isn't listening he is! Both of my boys have their strengths.....part of the problem with the class is this.....95% come from daycare and are already used to the "system" my boys had the luxury of my mother in law babysitting them(which I don't regret) but the teachers have been spoiled with kids who come to school already knowing circle time, lunch time, play time, quiet time, my kids were behind before they even began...this isn't their fault....when I went to school none of us knew this stuff...kindergarden is where we learned all of that. I could go on and on about the system.... We have already had a meeting about M and the head of the special needs dept(whom I trust 100% is on board) [/QUOTE]
