3 Ways to SUPPORT Your Kindergarteners
The start of kindergarten is a significant milestone in a child's life. It's a step towards independence, social readiness, and academic learning. As parents and educators, you can play an essential role in ensuring your student's smooth transition into this new phase. Here are three effective ways to get your kindergarteners excited about the start of the school year:
1. Establish a morning Routine:
Routine provides stability and comfort for young children. Start the school day with a predictable activity like The Question of the Day. This will help your students become familiar with the structure of school morning arrival and ease the transition into the classroom routine.
2. Develop Social Skills:
Social skills are crucial for a successful kindergarten experience. Integrate daily activities where your kindergarteners can interact with their peers to help build friendship. Model and practice social skills such as sharing, taking turns, and using kind language. These skills will help your students build positive relationships with classmates.
3. Reading and Writing Readiness:
Promote a love for reading by incorporating poetry into your daily routine. Spend time reading nursery rhymes to foster language development and to enhance their vocabulary. What about writing readiness? No worries! Here are some fun play-doh activities to help your kindergarteners practice letters names and formation while building strong fine motor skills.
Happy Teaching!
