‘Twas the night before kindergarten, and all through the school, some pink furry unicorns were breaking the rules…..wait, what?! Hahaha Okay, so there were pinky furry unicorns, but we didn’t break any rules! We were just running around school in our pajamas doing a read aloud!
Kindergarten is such an important and special year in a child’s life, but things are anything but normal right now. With COVID still on the loose, we are starting school virtually in my school district, so I won’t get a traditional first day with my students. I’ve tried to think of things to make it extra special and I hope I’ve done that for them this year!
I found this super cute book and ordered it. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be “the book,” but once I received it, I decided it was perfect! "The Night Before Kindergarten" talks about preparing for kindergarten, feeling a little scared, posing for pictures and all the other "normal" things one might experience on the first day. They won't get that exact experience, so I thought it was a good idea to read and discuss how things are going to look a little different this year. I grabbed the adorable and comfy unicorn pajamas I found at Walmart and got cozy in my classroom to do a special night before school read aloud for my students. I felt so silly and wasn’t feeling very confident in myself, but once their parents shared their reactions, I knew it was worth it!
My Kinderbesties and I always like to have a really good time with lots of laughter. So, of course, we had to go around the school for a mini photo shoot in our matching pajamas. We have the best time and I’m glad they’re always on board with my silly ideas. They never hesitate, but just dive right into whatever fun and exciting things we come up with. I can’t wait to see what fun things we do next for our kiddos!
