Kindergarten Ready or Not
The other day I found an article that brought together what Kindergarten teachers wish parents would focus on to get ready for school. They prefer less academics prep and more basic life skills. It's definitely realistic to think through these types of lists to prepare you and your child for school. As we have our oldest go through school we are still learning some of the basics of prep for each grade. I found this helpful for Kindergarten age. We are now in first grade, and looking back I can agree to this list. Heres the article , and now I will break it down. 1. Zip and/or button their own pants I would think this was a given, but I guess it's still an issue for teachers. I don't have my kids wear any clothing that takes extra work when it comes to bathroom needs. I have even stayed away from one piece swim suits. I do slip on pants, leggings, and simple shoes. Think about what you purchase for their school clothes and stick to the tricky items for home.
