Stay involved with your child's school throughout the year |
|
|
|
Kindergarten is an exciting time to work with the school. The following guidelines will help you stay involved throughout the year:
* Read everything that's sent home. Many opportunities are found in the school newsletter. PTAs and PTOs always need volunteers.
* Ask how you can help. If the teacher doesn't need volunteers in the classroom, there are other ways to contribute. You might prepare class materials at home, play educational games with your child or chaperone a trip.

Of course you want your child to be able to tell time. But he must first understand what time is before he can meaningfully look at a clock and inform you that it's 7:43.

Organizing thoughts prepares your preschooler for writing |
|
|
|
|
As early as first grade, your child will be given a topic and asked to write about it. Teachers won't expect polished prose at that age, but they will look to see if your child can write a few sentences while staying on the topic. "My favorite color is yellow. The sun is yellow. Bananas are yellow."
