Hey there, parents of budding kindergartners! As an experienced teacher who has spent years with kids just like yours, I’m here to give you a glimpse into what your little ones will encounter in school. You might be curious about the delightful and sometimes chaotic moments ahead, so here’s what you can expect:
- Your child may stroll into the bathroom with the door wide open, completely unbothered, and might even break into song mid-business.
- For the first half of the year, you can expect your child to unapologetically pick their nose in front of their classmates. After several reminders from the teacher to “Get a Tissue!!”, they’ll eventually master the art of discreetly covering their nose with a hand. Those kids are the true artists of manners!
- During recess, your child might forget to take a bathroom break, leading to a little accident. It’s all part of the learning process!
- Just a heads-up, your child might emerge from the restroom with their pants around their ankles—oops!
- Expect your child to mistakenly refer to their teacher as mom, dad, or grandma at different points throughout the year. The first two mix-ups will elicit laughter, but the third may prompt a surprised reaction and a dash for some moisturizer to address the inevitable wrinkles!
- Your little one may share some hilariously embarrassing stories about you and your family. More than once, I assure you! Teachers will chuckle, mentally note these gems for the next family gathering, and remember to keep names private—after all, their own kids are likely spilling similar tales in another classroom.
- Watch as your child navigates friendships, occasionally tattling on their best buddy only to make funny faces and be back to playing house or Legos within minutes.
- On the playground, expect a few tumbles. Your child might get a scrape but will bounce right back into the fun.
- If you have a son, be prepared for some bathroom mishaps where he may forget to aim correctly and end up creating a bit of a mess. (He might even toss his wet underpants at the teacher—what a scene!)
- Most importantly, your child will find a special place in their teacher’s heart. When they read their first word, write their first sentence, or make a new friend, there will be cheers, laughter, and perhaps a tear or two. These moments make it all worthwhile.

For those looking into home insemination options, I recommend taking a look at Make a Mom, where you can find reputable kits for at-home procedures.
In summary, prepare for an adventure filled with learning, laughter, and the occasional chaos. Your kindergartner’s journey will be a delightful mix of unforgettable moments that shape them in ways you can’t yet imagine.
