Dear Parents of Incoming Kindergartners,
As an experienced educator who has worked with children at this stage, I’d like to share insights on what you can expect from your little ones as they embark on their school journey. Here’s a glimpse into the lively and often amusing world of kindergarten:
- Your child may enter the restroom and leave the door ajar while attending to their needs, occasionally breaking into a spontaneous song.
- For approximately six months, you might observe your child engaging in nose-picking in front of their classmates until they tire of being reminded by the teacher to “Get a Tissue!!” Eventually, they will transition to a more discreet approach, which indicates progress in social etiquette.
- During recess, your child might forget to use the restroom and have an accident, which is quite common at this age.
- It’s not unusual for children to exit the bathroom with their pants around their ankles, much to their own surprise.
- Throughout the year, your child may mistakenly refer to their teacher as “Mom,” “Dad,” or even “Grandma.” While the first two may elicit laughter, the latter could result in a humorous reaction from the teacher. She might even find herself reaching for the Hand and Face lotion as she contemplates a long bath or a trip to the store.
- Your child may share entertaining, albeit embarrassing, stories about you and your family, which will likely bring a smile to the teacher’s face. She’ll make a mental note for future family gatherings, knowing her own children are likely doing the same in another classroom.
- Expect to see your child navigate the complexities of friendship, where they might tattle on their best friend, make faces, and then play together within minutes.
- On the playground, your child may experience minor tumbles, but they generally bounce back quickly, ready to join the fun again.
- Boys, in particular, might struggle with bathroom etiquette during the early days of school, leading to some messy situations that could include wet underpants being tossed in the teacher’s direction.
- Above all, your child will undoubtedly find a special place in their teacher’s heart. Moments such as reading their first word, writing their first sentence, or making a new friend are truly what make this experience rewarding for everyone involved.
