FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN WINDOWS
Windows will be covered with butcher paper making sure to allow no gaping holes for parents to wave furiously at their child. If you are lucky enough to have a seasoned teacher, they will most likely position their entire body blocking the classroom door so no parents can enter. As soon as you slyly try to sneak out, your child will let out a blood curdling scream that can be heard in the front office, and a good first impression will not be made. This sends a message that your child needs to be comforted. Parents of first time kindergarteners make the mistake of thinking, “I’ll just stay a few minutes so my child feels more comfortable.” Who the hell are we kidding? It is you who needs to feel more comfortable. Your child will make friends just don’t push it. If sleep alludes you, take a nap after drop off. Take a warm bath, drink a glass of milk, and get to sleep early. You know who will like your child if they happen to be one of those rare children who don’t talk in class, the goddamn teacher, that’s who. In fact, the majority of kids in the classroom, I can’t get to shut up. I know this is easy to say, but you will probably be up all night with thoughts like,” What if my child pees his pants or worse makes no friends?” Let me be here to reassure you that they will make friends, eventually, if not the first day of school.

FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN HOW TO
Students should also know how to hold the pencil correctly, write their names, and know that a glue stick isn’t Chapstick. Put them in Velcro if this isn’t happening before the first day. They pick their noses, tie them to their friends’ laces, and it’s a distraction that compares to someone farting while the teacher is reading. This may seem trivial, but when kids’ shoes are untied, they do some pretty screwed up things with the laces. Teach your child how to tie their own shoes. We think of kindergarten as learning sounds and letters, but there are other prerequisite skills that are just as important. Your child doesn’t need an after school toy for making it through the first day. It is a special day, but try to minimize the activities that will not occur in your everyday school routine. If you make this day out to be a huge spectacle, every other day will be like the day after Christmas: A huge fricken letdown. We have our Kleenex ready for our ugly cry, and we have already written the note to go in our child’s lunchbox indicating that this is not abandonment.

We have the first day outfit and the Pinterest sign all ready to go so the picture can be immediately posted on Facebook. We have been waiting and preparing for this day for five years. RELATED: 11 Things To Do Before School Starts Back So You Can Minimize Morning-Of Drama 1. Here are some suggestions to help you ease into this much anticipated day. I’ve seen it all before, and it ain’t pretty. Trust me I know, I’ve been a parent of a first-time student and I’m also a cat herder, I mean kindergarten teacher. It’s no wonder then that the first day of kindergarten elicits a myriad of anxiety ridden thoughts and over the top actions. We are absolutely bonkers when it comes to the first anything with our children.
