Hi Sarah-

Yes, recognizing money and VERY basic addition with coins is a kindergarten skill. Your daughter is probably doing work more in line with first grade. I'm chuckling to myself because my daughter took the CAT 5 kindergarten level test when she was 3.5. She aced everything, except for the money section! Somehow I'd never gotten around to showing her money and talking about the different denominations. She had no idea what the various coins meant. I also learned from that test that she knew how to tell time, despite the fact that I'd never worked on it with her.


take care-
