This Summary of Progress lists all of the Overall Expectations from the Ontario Kindergarten Program.
These expectations describe in general terms the knowledge and skills that children are expected to demonstrate by the end of Kindergarten Year 2. Since not all young children will learn in the same way at the same time, the range of achievement of these expectations will vary according to each child’s previous experiences and stage of development. In keeping with the developmental nature of early learning, students will not receive a letter code in Term 1 of Year 1.
The following code is used to indicate student progress in each area:
T – additional time and experience neededS – sometimes demonstrates
O – often demonstratesC – consistently demonstrates
