Kindergarten-Themed Stories
Set aside time each day to read a book about starting school. Here are some of my favorites! Reading these stories can help alleviate fears and answer questions your child might have about school.
School Supplies Shopping Adventure
Turn school supply shopping into an exciting adventure. Work with your child to create a school supply list. Let your child help pick out their supplies, from backpacks to crayons.
Play School at Home
Set up a pretend classroom at home and play school with your child. Take turns being the teacher and the student, practicing activities like circle time, reading, and simple math. This role-playing can help familiarize your child with the school routine and reduce first-day jitters.
Counting down to kindergarten is a wonderful way to build excitement and prepare your child for this new adventure. Remember, the goal is to create positive associations and build confidence, setting the stage for a successful and happy school year.
Enjoy the countdown!
