My child starts Kindergarten in September. Is there anything special I should do this summer to help him get ready for school? He was in preschool, so he had that already. We are going to be AM kindergartners.
It is so cute to hear the mommies of new students. “We are going to be AM Kindergartners,” is so true. This will be a new experience for you too. You will now watch a child progress through the entire school process, Kindergarten through college and beyond. When you were little, you did it, but it will be quite different watching your child. Different and fun.
My best advice would be to turn off the TV. This simple step will do wonders. Kids that get used to starting their day with TV often struggle with an academic day. When he wakes up, get him moving indoors and out.
Visit the school a few times, maybe even playing on the playground if it is open, just to get a feel for the environment. And of course, read together often. Make the library part of your summer routine. It is air-conditioned and free so your child can go from topic to topic learning how one thought leads to another and books will always open the pathway.
