First Day Of Kindergarten

2 days agoEdited to

... Read moreStarting kindergarten is a big milestone not only for children but also for parents. From personal experience, preparing my son for his first day was a mix of excitement and nerves. I made sure to talk about what to expect, like meeting Mrs. Prader, his teacher, and sharing his favorite things, which helped him feel more comfortable. One of the sweetest moments was seeing him proudly declare what he wants to be when he grows up. This aspiration fueled his enthusiasm and showed how important encouragement is during these early years. Dressing him up in an outfit he loved also boosted his confidence – it really made him feel like he 'got that sh** on,' ready to take on the day! To make the most of this transition, I highly recommend creating a small routine the night before, such as packing their backpack together and talking about the exciting friends they will meet. It's also essential to keep a positive attitude, as children can pick up on parental emotions. Kindergarten opens doors to new friendships, learning, and discovery. Embracing these moments with pride and a supportive approach makes the entire experience enjoyable for both child and parent. If you're about to start this journey, remember that every child's first day is unique and special, just like my son's first day with Mrs. Prader.

Skills to teach before kindergarten
This is not an exact list and some things (like shoe tying) are to help those less social or extra nervous kiddos out rather than academic based. If you are unsure if your child is ready for kindergarten typically the school or if not lots of places online can provide you with a kindergarten read

School readiness isn’t what you think..
Can I tell you what kindergarten teachers actually say they wish kids came in knowing? It’s not the alphabet. It’s not counting to 20. It’s not how to write their name. It’s: can they ask for help? Can they handle disappointment? Can they use the bathroom by themselves and open their ow
