Getting Ready for School

It is that time of year! Time to shop for clothes and supplies and get hair cuts and buy shoes all in preparation for the first day of school!  This will be short and sweet as I am very busy doing that very thing for myself, my kids and my classroom!

As you start to prepare your child for their first experiences in school, remember that this is an Exciting time.  Make the process fun.  Here are some ideas to think about using.

1.  Create a countdown chain or calendar about 10-14 days before school.

2.  Plan a special night before school dinner or dessert.

3.  Let them pick out their own backpack and lunchbox for school.

4.  Let them pick out their first day of school outfit (if applicable).

5.  Draw a picture or write a note for the teacher or class on the first day.  Most teachers, including myself, LOVE to hang up their notes.

There are also lots of other ideas that maybe you and your child can come up with that will make the first day of school even more memorable.  

See you soon!
