Kindergarten teachers need to be able to assess where students are academically and emotionally in order to set goals for the class and individual students. With the exception of extracurricular activities such as physical education, art class, or lunch, all lessons are typically conducted in one classroom.
Most kindergarten classrooms still make room for the staples that 5-year-olds love: manipulatives, blocks, finger paints, puppets, and of course loads of books. The idea is to encourage young children to continue to learn mostly through play but to expect them to tackle more complex academic skills in the process.
