I am so excited about this "Welcome to Kindergarten" project! I have been thinking about it and planning it for a long time. We will soon be hosting new kindergarten students and parents for the next school year. They are given important information, and the kiddos get to come to the kindergarten classroom for about an hour to do a project and explore the classrooms. Then everyone goes on a tour of the school! I would love to have a goody bag for the kids filled with a welcome to Kindergarten Bag! Our first part will include a fun workbook with reading and math skills practice to get our kiddos ready. Then we need a light little backpack to put all the items inside! Next will be a Kindergarten book, "Kindergarten, Here I Come!", alphabet letters cards, number and counting flashcards, a pencil, and crayons. What a great learning tool to help our new students prepare for their school careers!
I know the new Kindergarten kiddos will be so excited to get a new backpack filled with great learning activities to get them ready for Kindergarten.
I hope that they will practice these skills to help them get ready for school and be able to keep them organized in the new drawstring bag! These fun items would all be great practice for those who have attended a preschool and a great learning tool for those students who have not had a preschool background! This project will help all the new kindergarten students who register and attend our Kindergarten Orientation, giving them a significant learning boost.
