Summer 2021 Resources
Moving Up to Y5s & Kindergarten
With all the unexpectedness this school year has brought us, we put together a Smore with links to resources to help your child with the transition to Y5s and Kindergarten. (So you can click on what you want to use and skip the ones that don’t/won’t work for your family.) Though some of these resources use the word Kindergarten, most of the information still applies to the transition to Young Fives. It’s the transition from preschool to the next step that we are all experiencing. Both Young Fives and Kindergarten are the next steps in your child’s education.
Whatever you do this summer to assist in the transition to Young Fives or Kindergarten, follow your child’s lead. Most children have questions that you can easily answer. Your child needs the security and reassurance that you will be with them as they embark on a new learning adventure next year.
There are also some great ideas for summer fun for all ages!
Happy Summer!
