Is My Child Ready for Kindergarten?
By: Kids Activity Calendar
Before you know it, that beautiful young baby boy or girl of yours will be old enough to start school. Kindergarten is the first step but you begin to wonder if they are ready or not. If you are trying to decide if this is the year for your child to start school, read on to find out what you should consider when making the decision.
Did your child attend preschool? - Children that attend preschool are better prepared to enter kindergarten when the time comes than those children who spent the year at home. Classroom settings in kindergarten are not what they were thirty years ago. When I was in school, kindergarteners played a lot and they learned colors and shapes but the environment was relaxed. Today, with the pressure to succeed and achieve certain academic goals at an earlier age, the kindergarten classroom is more structured. Attending a preschool program introduces your child to a traditional classroom setting. They sit at their own desk and learn to raise their hands when they need the teacher's attention. Children learn to recognize colors, shapes, animals, and more. Having other children around gives them a chance to practice their interpersonal skills with one another.
How old is your child? - Children typically start kindergarten when they are five years of age. Depending on the state, the cut-off date for age can range from September of the current school year to January which is half way through the current school year. If your child turns five after the cut-off date they would normally roll over into the next school year to enroll in kindergarten. Now, some schools are leaving it up to the parent's to decide if their child is ready at the age of four. Four year old children must meet certain criteria to qualify for that school year. The child must be potty trained. Most kids are going to the bathroom by age four, but there are exceptions to that rule. The children must be able to follow basic commands like, "sit down in the chair" or "pick up the toy on the floor".
What if you wait an extra year? - There is no benefit or drawback to waiting another year unless your child is prepared and you hold them back for whatever reason. If a child has not attended preschool and you want them to have the background, then that is okay. The child will be actively learning for that extra year and the skills they learn will help them in kindergarten. If the child will be the youngest in the class and you want them to be older, that is an ambiguous reason for waiting an extra year. If your child is mature enough to be in a classroom setting no matter how young they are, you should send them to school. If your child will be staying at home with you and relaxing for the extra year then they are better off in school where they will be gaining instruction in basic skills.
Schoolhouse Rock! DVD - Schoolhouse Rock! DVD
Just because your child is four or has not attended preschool does not mean that they can't handle kindergarten. They will get a better start if they are five and preschool trained, but if the teacher is good, your child can catch up with the other students. Don't make them feel bad by holding them back if they can do the work. Talk to a kindergarten teacher in your school district. Ask them what they like to see in a student who is attending kindergarten for the first time. Make a list of the skills they mention and test your child to see if they can at least demonstrate half of the list. Then, make your decision with the information you have gathered.
Kindergarten is the first step on your child's road to getting an education. Start them off right. If they are ready let them enroll in school.

6 Ways to Make Reading To Your Child A Habit
Hands-Up inch Dry Erase Answer Boards - 24 Per Pack
Words can open up a world of knowledge and adventure for your children, and reading to them is so important in their development.
Here are 6 ways to make reading to your child a habit.
1-Set up a book shelf in your child's room and place all of his or her books there.
2- Read your child's favorite book over and over.
3-Go to the library and let your child pick out books.
4-Read together with your child.
5-Read to your child at bedtime every night.
6-Choose a book with a particular character whose stories are serialized (for instance Amelia Bedelia, Harry Potter, or Magic Treehouse).
For some, perhaps the only time you read to your child is when Santa or the Easter Bunny makes their appearance every year. Reading to your child should be a daily and ongoing event. Perhaps you do read to your child frequently, and become caught up in one particular book that your child absolutely loves. Whether that is the case or not, this is the beginning of their interest in books and stories. Have you noticed the huge variety of children's books available today? This is due to the fact that reading has become the focal point in our society, especially since many public school children are lacking in reading skills.
Have your child participate in the act of picking out books by taking them to your local library. Sign them up with their own library card. The myriad of books are overwhelming, and there are certainly enough from which your child can choose his particular genre. All the colorful books and titles are incentive enough for your child to take home a stack of books for you to read at bedtime. Has your child become fascinated with a particular magazine, either at a store or a medical office? If so, subscribe to the magazine in your child's name. Think of how excited they will be when their magazine arrives!
6 Ways to Make Reading To Your Child A Habit
By: Kids Activity Calendar
Do you have bookshelves at home filled with books? This is no longer the case today. Children can have their own private mini library at home. Between garage sales, discount racks, and Bargain books, you can find books to fit any budget. Undoubtedly, this will give them a sense of ownership as well. While you are having family dinner, why not discuss the stories you have read to your child. This will keep the interest alive and your child will be full of anticipation; wanting to know more about the characters they have come to love.
These 6 ways to make reading to your child a habit are just the beginning of a long journey leading to enlightenment. The bond you form with your child by reading to them is immeasurable. The stories can take you and your child on new and exciting adventures every time you open a new book. Take the time to read to your child. It is that important!

Each card features the letter or blend along with a color illustration on one side and more words beginning with the sound, a sentence using some of the words, and another illustration on the other side. A parent card reviews various ways to use the cards to help your child master the letter sounds - one of the most important prerequisites for reading.
Phonics refers to a method for teaching speakers of English to read and write that language. Phonics involves teaching how to connect the sounds of spoken English with letters or groups of letters (e.g., that the sound can be represented by c, k, ck or ch spellings) and teaching them to blend the sounds of letters together to produce approximate pronunciations of unknown words.
Phonics is a widely used method of teaching to read and decode words, although it is not without controversy (see "History and controversy" below). Children begin learning to read using phonics usually around the age of 5 or 6. Teaching English reading using phonics requires students to learn the connections between letter patterns and the sounds they represent. Phonics instruction requires the teacher to provide students with a core body of information about phonics rules, or patterns.

Raising Kids the Old-fashioned way!
Kids Activity Calendar
Old-fashioned Ways To Raise Smart KidsBy: Kids Activity Calendar
Walk through any toy store and you will see walls and walls of toys that are loud -- toys that require batteries, have flashing lights, or that look like your child's favorite movie character.
But, what about those of us who want to raise children with imagination and curiosity? I'll tell you what we do. We choose to fill our houses with some of the following old-fashioned items.
Books
No house can have enough books. Make sure your house has a representation of great Fiction Books and non-fiction books. A mix of the two is very important. Most homes have a deficit of non-fiction books, so fill your home with Science, History and Art books. Children need to learn to read and appreciate non-fiction books in order to do well in research when they reach higher levels of study.
Flannel Space Saver Puppets Theater Stage and Multi-Play Screen
Felt Boards
Children love to tell stories with felt. You'll need a felt board to start. You can make your own board from a sheet of felt or purchase a board from one of the suppliers below.
Once you have the board, let the fun begin.
Go to a craft or fabric store and buy sheets of felt in all colors. Then, cut out shapes in all colors and sizes. (You'll be amazed at how quickly a child will make an alien, ship, house, or person out of nothing but a few circles, rectangles, and triangles.)
Moon and Stars Children's Table and Chairs Set
Blocks and Legos
Children can play for hours building towers, bridges, cities, creatures, and more with these toys that inspire creativity, patience, and small-motor skills. When the masterpiece is finished, have your child pretend to be a giant and smash through the blocks--or grab a few small cars and drive around the new city! Be sure to name the city and have your child tell you all about it.
Art Supplies
Give your child some crayons, scissors, junk mail, and glue. He or she will be entertained for hours if given encouragement. Please SUPERVISE closely if you don't want your child to have a self-induced bad haircut or attach the dog to her artwork!
Puppets
Make puppets out of socks, paper bags, felt, cloth, or popsicle sticks. Make a stage and tell stories. Get out the video camera and capture your child's brilliance!
Make Your Own Animal Puppets - Kit for 12
A puppet show? It's in the bag with this kit! Paper bags and foam pieces make 12 different adorable animal puppets.
Musical Instruments
Whether your musical instruments are home-made with a comb and wax paper or store bought, making music is a wonderful way to spend the day. Teach your child that music can be made from anything, from an old oatmeal container, to scratching two pieces of sandpaper together. Go on a walk and just listen to the sounds of the world -- music is everywhere in our lives.
Dress-up Clothes
Get out old prom dresses, big hats, shirts and ties, old Halloween costumes (or buy extra pieces after Halloween for year-round fun!). Bring out a box of costumes and watch the shows with your children as the stars. Keep a camera handy to capture the fun. Also, keep an eye on the pets.(Cats don't always appreciate wearing a sombrero. Trust me, I have the scars to prove it!)
Doll-houses
There is nothing more fun than watching your child make up stories as the family members move around in a doll house. If it is a wooden dollhouse, there is the added benefit of decorating it with some wallpaper scraps & carpet remnants! Your dollhouse could be a family heirloom if you put enough love into it.
In the Kitchen
Kids love to play Kitchen, whether it is mixing air, or getting to play with food. Give your child a great time by giving them safe kitchen utensils to play with in the bathtub. Mixing, pouring, and scooping bubbles and water entertains my children long enough for them to look pruny. Or for a fun alternative,g ive them puffed rice cereal, bowls, and utensils on the kitchen floor. Just plan to vacuum afterwards as there'll be quite a wonderful mess!

- Great lens. I'm interested in the topic "Old-fashioned Ways To Raise Smart Kids". I also notice the electric toys prevent children from enjoying natural and keeping peace inside%uFF0Cwhile everything seems so quick and automatically. I read some articles about human resource jobs, also inspired. Enjoy the time with kids.
