Prepare a Personal Family Event to celebrate this significant milestone in your family. The more personal and private the better as it is an occasion different than the public"one for each child. Let your Kindergarten graduate show what she or he has accomplished the following activities:
Know all capital and lower case letters. recognize
Know the days of the week and the months of the year
Know phone number, address, and birthday
Count from 1-30
Able to say the months of the year
During the summer break create ways to re-enforce that information with your Kindergarten graduate.
At this age summer is long, memory is short when not plugged in often. Your graduate couldn't wait to go from pre-school to Kindergarten now they can't wait for first grade which, to some children with older siblings, is "real" school because there is homework.
In preparing for first grade observe whether or not your child in comfortable in the following areas:
Use family-nurturing time to enhance communication skills, listening skills and follow-thru.
Create opportunities for dialogue and observe your child's comfort level in discussion.
Use the Bible to strengthen the Kindergarten graduate's relationship with the Lord, family, friends. Illustrations from Vacation Bible School can be used at this time. Most themes from VBS can be enhanced with further discussion at home. Here are a few examples from previous VBS summer's.
A series emphasis on the Truth about Jesus. Devote a time during family dialogue for your Kindergarten graduate to share the truth learned about Jesus Christ at VBS.
Help your child articulate the facts of Christ's life and teaching as well as His Deity. The summer between Kindergarten and First Grade can be an exciting one for your "Graduate."
