Back to School Information

Below are some skills that our rising kindergartners can be working on at home to help build independence and confidence for the upcoming school year: 

·        Zip/unzip their own coats,

·       Button/unbutton their own pants when using the restroom,

·       Use the restroom independently (wiping, flushing, etc.),

·       Wash hands properly (singing the "ABC Song" while rubbing in the soap is a trick I like to use for this!),

·       Tie, velcro, fasten shoes independently,

·       Fill and open/close their own water bottle,

·       Blow their nose,

·       Clean up after themselves,

·       Take turns,

·       Stand in line without touching others,

·       Hold and use scissors and writing/coloring utensils properly,

·       Open and close glue sticks,

·       Identify and find their name,

·       Open and close containers and Ziplock bags.
