Here are a few fun ideas you can do at home to prepare for that first day of school!
1. Make a "Countdown" road to school with your child. Find out how many days are left before school starts. You can write or print out numbers and have your child glue them in order from the biggest number down to number one. Draw a line to connect the numbers to make your path. At the end of the "path" have your child draw a picture of their school. Take a post-it note and put in on the biggest number. Each day, have your child move the post-it note one number until you reach the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
Here are some things MOMS can do to prepare for your child's first day:
*adjust their body clock to fit their new school schedule
*talk about healthy choices for lunch/snack
*make sure your child's name is on their backpack and lunch box
*check supply list
*find classroom and playground
*have your child say their new teacher's name 3 times (when you find out)
*discuss drop-off and pick-up procedures
*don't forget to take a first day of school picture
