Since the sun just warmed us up and the hectic frenzy of school activities has ceased, I hate to even share that school will start up again in less than ten weeks. For my twelve year old who loves to sleep in, this is sad news. But for the parents of students entering Kindergarten, especially if the child did not attend a preschool program, this is a great opportunity to spend time preparing for that exciting next step. Much of the preparation might surprise you as it relates to social and communication skills rather than academics. According to baby- center.com, there are five key areas you can work on now: Focus on your child’s social life. Children who can get along in group activities and who know how to share will have an advantage in Kindergarten. You can do this and have fun by taking your child to places where he can interact with other children like playgrounds and pools or enroll him in one of the many day camp programs. Boost your child’s self awareness. According to the website, Kinder- garten students need to know the basics about themselves such as the correct spelling of their name, age, address, and phone number. Try to make this a game or set the information to a favorite tune. Expand the mind. Learning colors, numbers and concepts like "same" and "different" don’t have to be formally taught. You can use everyday activi- ties like shopping and counting the number of cans in the cart and point- ing out the differences between fruits or vegetables. Tour the school. To help make going to the school feel more famil- iar, visit several times over the sum- mer, if only to walk around or play on the playground. The summer my oldest Kathy Garcia Encourage nimbleness. Fine motor skills are needed to learn how to write. The website encourages parents to have kids draw with large crayons, markers and chalk and to have opportunities to play with water and sand. They can also take on jobs like putting the silverware away and sorting Lego’s to help with this skill. was preparing for Kinder- garten , we knew she was cautious about new experi- ences, so we scheduled sev- eral outings to ease her out of her comfort zone. We went camping, rode on a boat, and stayed the night at a hotel out of town. Noth- ing too unusual but experi- ences she’d never had before. And every website and Kindergarten teacher out there is going to encourage parents to read, read, and read some more to their children this summer. The tele- vision is not a substitute, and reading is a great way to spend some person- al time together. Kathy Garcia is the Business Services Manager for the Job Training Center and parent of three.
