Kindergarten Grade Talking Points

• "Sports are games that people play. Can you tell me the name of your favorite sport?"
• "When we draw and paint, we can use words to describe what we create. What words would you use to describe your artwork?"
• "Numbers help us count things. How many players are there in a basketball game? Let's count together!"
• "When we move and dance, we can use words to show how we are feeling. How does dancing make you feel?"
