Kindergarten is where kids learn how to be a good friend and classmate. They practice saying please and thank you, taking turns, sharing, waiting patiently and telling the truth. They learn to name feelings and use kind words when they're upset. They also learn that everyone makes mistakes and that saying sorry helps fix them.
