This doesn't look like kindergarden schoolwork. Looks like 12th grade work

To find the total number of absences for the five children in the kindergarten class, you need to add up the number of absences for each child.

The given absences are as follows:
Sophie: 3 absences
Bert: 7 absences
Billy: 4 absences
Joey: 8 absences
Julie: 2 absences

To find the sum of these absences, you simply add them all together:

3 + 7 + 4 + 8 + 2 = 24

So, the total number of absences for the five children is 24.
