4 Replies

I hear it a lot.

How do I know if my child is ready for FIRST GRADE?

He/she will be six.

Is he/she ready?

Well..as a “veteran”

FIRST GRADE teacher,

there are a few

lessons EVERY Kindergartner should know

BEFORE starting FIRST GRADE.

What should kinder students know before entering first grade?

Helping kindergartners get ready for first grade.

Here are the

5 MOST IMPORTANT THINGS

you can help your

kindergartner

get ready for

FIRST GRADE.

How to be ready for first grade.

First and foremost…

they need to be able to

TIE THEIR OWN SHOES!

And KEEP THEM TIED!

Help your child learn to tie their own shoes

There is NOTHING worse than kids

running on the playground

tripping on

THEIR OWN SHOELACES!

I cannot teach 25 students to tie their shoes.

Parents…please…teach your kids to tie their shoes!

Let’s get ready for first grade.

Your child will lose a tooth in first grade.

In first grade…they will might..maybe will,

LOSE A TOOTH!

They will might have a “wiggle” tooth.

I WILL NOT PULL IT OUT!

“I promise not to put MY hands in YOUR mouth,

AND you will NOT put YOUR hands in MINE!”

Please..discuss this AT HOME!

Almost ready for first grade.

If your pants are too BIG…

get a BELT!

Not a belt with multiple straps, or a buckle that requires PLIERS!

PLEASE..a belt that can be put on and

TAKEN OFF…QUICKLY!

Odds are..if the belt needs to come off…it needs to come off FAST!

Parents, please…teach your kids how to use it!

They are almost ready for first grade.

Pencils are for writing with…

NOT CHEWING ON!

They are NOT TEETHING RINGS!

Please keep them (and most other first grade tools)

OUT OF THEIR MOUTH!

So close to being ready for first grade.

I am your TEACHER.

Mrs. McCarty

You may call me Mrs.

You may call me MOM.

I answer to GRANDMA.

I probably will answer to GRANDPA.

Treat me kindly.

Say nice things.

Be Polite.

Follow our rules.

Smile.

Give me a hug.

And we will have a wonderful year in

FIRST GRADE!
