"You don't ask a child if they want to walk or be carried,
you ask them if they want to walk on the grass or the sidewalk."

Online Kindergarten Readiness Screening Tool
http://www.familyeducation.com/article/0,1120,63-25466,00.html
This tool is designed for four-year-olds. Screen your child twice while she's four. Try to screen your child first in the fall a year before entering kindergarten, and again before kindergarten starts to measure your child's progress. Don't use the tool more than three times a year. It's not designed to measure small changes, and kids develop new skills gradually.

Food is the fun part of social studies! The tricky part is finding recipes you can make in a modern kitchen, with ingredients bought at your local supermarket and bring into school to share with your class.
