Studies Weekly Kindergarten Readiness
Today Studies Weekly , http://www.studiesweekly.com publications are used in all 50 states and provide the advantages Mr. Thompson originally delivered: less preparation for teachers and more fun for students. The ultimate benefits are more time and greater learning.Beginning school is one of the most important transitions in a life of a child. There are feelings of excitement and apprehension. For some, this is their fist time away from their parents. It is also a time in which they will be responsible for learning brand new things. It is incredibly important for parents to ease the anxious feelings and enhance the positive feelings about going to school. It is our job as parents to try to foster physical, emotional and mental kindergarten readiness.
Physical kindergarten readiness is one aspect that not many parents consider. Fine motor skills are extremely valuable. Children ought to be able to hold and manipulate a pencil, marker, or crayon. They should have experiences drawing, coloring and scribbling on paper to get used to holding a writing utensil. They should also have a familiarity with cutting with child-safe scissors, and doing puzzles. Allow time for your child to participate in any of these activities, which are not only fun, but will also increase their familiarity and control with writing utensils. Kindergarten readiness also includes gross motor skills such as running, climbing and jumping. These skills can be incorporated into games that also teach following directions. Simon Says is a great game with physical activity that will also teach the importance of listening to directions and vocabulary such as on, above, over, under, etc. Although all skills are improved upon during the school year, it is a good idea to have your children beginning to practice these skills before school starts.
