I hope you have all had a wonderful summer! It’s the second week of school, and our new kindergarten students have completed their fifth day of gradual entry. Despite a few tears, these new kindies are definitely ready to play!
The first few weeks of school can be a bit daunting for new Ks. Many are starting school for the first time, and some are missing their preschool teachers and of course, their moms or dads! There are also a lot of big kids around! To help the students ease into the daily routine, we usually start the day the same. We greet each other at the door. And then, we connect on the carpet with our “morning circle”. Each day, we learn something new about one another.
And each day, there is time for structured and non-structured play! These past few days, through play, I witnessed our new Ks working together, solving problems, and creating some amazing things! Please ask your child to share their school day with you.
