Welcome Panda Pals!

None! Kittrell School will provide all of its students the school supplies they need.

 

Yes, your child will need a backpack that is big enough to hold a 3-ring binder. Don’t forget to teach them how to open and close it. ☺️

No, so have your child ready for kindergarten by being used to staying up all day, or at least until 3:00 pm. 😜

 

 

You will choose two phase-in days at the parent meeting at the beginning of the school year. These days are full days of school and allow for half the class to attend so the students are not so overwhelmed. For example, if we have 20 students in the classroom, 10 students will attend the first two days (August 12th and 13th) , and 10 students will attend the next two days (August 14th and 15th).

 

1) Teach your child how to carry a food tray (like at a fast-food restaurant) and open a milk carton. They will be expected to carry their own tray on the first day.

2) Help them build up the muscles in their fingers (fine motor skills) so they are ready to learn to write neatly. This can be done lots of fun ways like playing with play doh , coloring, hole punching paper, using scissors, lacing cards, water coloring, picking small objects up off a table or floor, etc.

 

3) Teach them how to take turns by playing board games. Board games are great for math skills too. Especially when it involves dice!

 

4) Teach them to tie their shoes. This goes back to using those finger muscles!

 

5) Read to your child every day! The vocabulary and reading comprehension that they will learn from this simple step is instrumental in giving them a head start in reading.
