Share your fun back-to-school tip to help out new Kindergartner moms, like me? Here’s some great ones I’ve heard recently -
- With multiple kids, whoever finishes their homework first, must read until the others are done. This encourages them not to rush, since they know no one is having fun with out them. I love this and now my non-school age daughter reads and pretends to do homework while her big sister does! It’s great together time for all of us.
- Make a few breakfast foods for the freezer for days you’re running behind, like pancakes, muffins, waffles, etc…, so you always know your child gets a good start!
- Make homework fun. We’ve turned turned Ady’s site-words for the month of August into a Go Fish game, Memory Game, crafts, and more, so the whole family can enjoy homework together.

We had a chalkboard in the kids room with a magnets too so they could attach the things that they did at school and follow their progression over the year. It was also a fun way for them to show off and be proud of their days work.

I don’t hav kids in school yet but this advice I really like! I think parents should be activly involved in their kids school, but I’m sure that the majority never even meet the teacher! I wanna know who is spending 8hrs a day with my kid!
Make time for their adventures. In this busy, hectic world we often forget to include an hour to take time and go to the school to volunteer. One hour a day would be so appreciated by the teachers. Make that hour happen when it’s story time or art time so you can either read to the children while the teacher takes a few minutes to catch up on other projects or you will be there to help with their art projects. It allows the teacher to better distribute her time with all of the kids and they don’t have to rush when there is another set of willing hands to help out. What does this do for your child? It helps them to see that Mama/Daddy enjoys going to school and she will too. It also keeps you close and allows you to see exactly what environment she is being exposed to while at school.

Set aside a bit of time each night to read with your child!

My suggestion is to enforce a consistent bed time every night so they don’t moan and groan when they have to wake up in the morning.

i’m a new kindy mom too. well, i will be on monday. but we have afternoon. and i have a kid in AM preschool. i need my own tips!! LOL
seriously, i learned from 4 days a week at prek in elem. school last year- this awesome trick- make a ‘snack bag” accessible to the kids. i fill it up and don’t replenish till its all gone. its all healthy, OK for school, snacks. she can pick one of these each day to bring for snack. she likes being able to choose and i don’t have to deal with it. (i also send in a few boxes of nutrigrain bars at the beginning of the year for kids who forget snack so the teacher isnt spending her own $$) i also keep some snack friendly foods on a low shelf in the fridge. its allowed her to have control and one less thing for me to do.
for the snack closet we use a zipper plastic bag that our bed sheets came in. my almost 3 year old likes to use it too. everything is prepackaged or packaged by me so they can help themselves( i have a 1 year old too)

My best advice is to not turn the tv on in the morning. It seems to slow everything down in our house! Instead, whenever my son is ready and just sitting waiting for the bus, we sit and read.
