Raising
a
hand
to
speak,
properly
standing
in
line,
and
working
cooperatively
with
others
are
all
fundamental
parts
of
a
well-organized
and
functional
classroom
environment.
At
Loch
Lomond
Elementary
School,
the
kindergarten
readiness
program
offers
rising
kindergarteners
three
weeks
of
half-day
instruction
to
build
foundational
skills
such
as
these,
so
they
can
be
successful
from
the
very
start
of
their
academic
careers.
"I think
it's
a
good
opportunity
for
preschoolers
who
didn't
get
a
chance
to
go
to
preschool
because
of
COVID-19,"
shared Amber,
parent
of
a
student attending the
program. "I'm
really
glad
and
hopeful
that
my
son
will
do
well."
At
Yorkshire
Elementary
School,
the
rising
kindergarten
program
offers
students
similar
benefits.
During
the
summer,
the
kindergarteners
in
the
program
familiarized
themselves
with
the
school
building
and
met
classmates
and
teachers.
