I was beyond excited to read "Let's get ready for kindergarten" with Kayla. If you don't already know my little Kayla started kindergarten this year and I could not be more proud. I really wasn't aware that children needed to know as much as they did going into kindergarten. After going over the book with Kayla I was pleasantly surprised at just how much she knew. Let's Get Ready For Kindergarten is a fun way to learn what your child needs to know and you can go through and see how much your child already knows. They go through the ABC's (upper and lower case), numbers all the way up to 100, opposites and the seasons. If your little one is getting ready to go into kindergarten or is already in kindergarten then this is the perfect book to sit down and read with them.
Would you like to win a copy of "Let's Get Ready For Kindergarten" and "Let's Get Ready For First Grade?"

I don't remember anything about my kindergarten days, but when my eldest daughter went to kindergarten for the first day, I cried like a baby as soon as I got out the door!
Thanks

I guess one of my favorite Kindergarten memories was when I was with my class for art. We were getting ready to make kites, and the art teacher asked us if we knew of a situation where we *wouldn't* fly a kite. I immediately raised my hand and asked, "Like when Ben Franklin flew his kite in a storm?" The teacher was so surprised that I knew about it and asked how I did. I told her, matter-of-factly, it was because of a cartoon! That was pretty much how I knew about a lot of things in life. Thank you, cartoons! LoL.

Wow, kindergarten was so long ago! I don't remember a specific thing about class, but I will never forget Mrs. Luckfield my wonderful teacher. She made learning fun!

wow, wish i could remember that far back
I remember my first day of Kindegarten (40 years ago). There were name tags on everyone's desks and I remember thinking my teacher was very smart to know all of our names!
My one memory of kindergarten is finding the letter S balloon person with another classmate. We would all take turns finding the letter people.

My brother was born on my first day of Kindergarten.
I remember having our Halloween parade in kindergarten and we had our picture taken and put in the little local newspaper. I thought I was such a star. LOL!
I remember really enjoying painting
teacher hit me with a ruler
Wow these look nice and certainly can use.
Alas, I didn't get to go to kindergarten. It was optional in the old days.
Oh gosh, it has been so long! Probably when we had any school projects. I loved anything pertaining to art and crafts.

I'd love to win these to prepare my son for school next year
I have a picture of me on my first day of Kinder. I'm standing next to my bright red VW bus. I've taken pictures of my kids next to our car (big blue van and now a burgundy suburban).
A little blue eyed boy that sat by me.
We used to draw pictures and the teacher would write on the picture what we told her to say about it. So I drew a picture of my mom and it said "My mom likes to sleep a lot. She is nice, sometimes." My poor mom! She did keep it though and we still laugh at it!
My favorite memory was of the projects my teacher did with us for Thanksgiving. We sat on the rug with her singing "Ten Little Indians" in little pilgrim or Indian hats that we made, and roasting pumpkin seeds on a little burner. They were soooo good and it was a lot of fun.

My favorite memory from Kindergarden was being the "Star General". If you were chosen you wore a star on your head and the whole world knew you were super!
Physically go down to their level. Whether they are talking to you or you are talking to them, stoop down and make yourself their height. I can tell my kids really appreciate this, and no matter what we are talking about, they end up giving me a hug or kiss when I do this because we are physically so close.

I remember learning the song This Old Man and loving it!
I really only need getting ready for 1st grade as my daughter is in kindergarten this year

I remember taking care of the classroom pet - a guinea pig named Squeaky.
I loved the jungle gym. I'd never been on one before then.
Bringing my cat and her kittens to schoool for show and tell
i rememember LOTS of coloring
I LOVE my dragon fly earrings and my teacher Mrs. Leverette. She was the best teacher I ever had.
I remember singing all the time, and learning my ABCs. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I cried hysterically and another child was doing the same and the teacher suggested our mothers leave us to cry on each other's shoulders. It's not my favorite memory, but it's my most vivid.
I wish I could post a kindergarten memory but I don't think I can remember that far back :(
My favorite memory is that I had a nice kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Cunningham.
naptime on the mats ;o)
I don't remember kindergarten but I do remeber my kids school plays.
That would be easy if I remembered Kindergarten...however, I have one going into Kindergarten next year.
I don't remember much from Kindergarten but I do remember making homemade butter by shaking the cream in glass jars and then we were able to try it on banana bread.
I remember very little from kindergarten only that my teacher was blonde and young
My first two grandkids will soon be five. That means the trama/drama of kindergarten. I believe these two tiles will be very useful.
Thanks for the contest.
Enjoy the day.
My favorite memory of Kindergarten was when my oldest son won the Citizenship award. Only one child in each classroom received it.
I can remember my least favorite memory ... naptime and I was too scared to tell the teacher I had to go to the bathroom and I wet my pants. Actually it's my only memory - how sad is that!
i remeber dressing up for the halloween parade and walking around the school in our costumes
I loved our Thanksgiving feast in Kindergarten.
My first day of kindergarten, the teacher gave us nametags to wear.
The SECOND day of kindergarten, I forgot my nametag at home. "The teacher's not going to know my name!" I completely lost it, at the suprise of my mother, since I never cried. She assured me that they would know who I was. I went in.
Later that day my Mom came to school with my nametag.
I sat next to a little girl on the bus. When we got to school i asked her if she would be my best friend, she said yes. Now almost 30 years later she is still my best friend. Our friendship started on the first day of kindergarten.
Count me in :)

These would be perfect for my grandson, my memory is we had a bear rug on one occasion and a indian teepee on another in our classroom
my favorite kindergarten memory was playing jill (from jack and jill) in our annual nursery rhymes play. my kindergarten teacher is still a major part of my life even though she's retired. She still takes the time to tutor my 6 year old in reading.

My favorite kindergarten memory was of the teacher telling me I was so smart, no one had ever done that before. THanks !
My first day. Very exciting. I even remember the bear on the cover of our activity book!
I don't have any detailed memories of it though.
That was many many years ago but I still remember the teacher brought in a churn and we made butter. I guess that will have to be my happy memory. Thank you so much!

I remember we had freetime after lunch when we got to do whatever we wanted at different "stations" my best friend and I always chose the dress up station and would dress up like something or someone different each time.

I don't remember much about my kindergarten days, but I do remember that I hated nap time. Now I would almost kill for a nap! Thank you for the opportunity to win!
I truly do not remember! What I see in my children though as they start school is how proud they feel as they go off to the bus on that very first day. Priceless!

Naptime! ;0D
Singing "Five Little PUmpkins" at Halloween time.

I remember lifting my head up at nap time to say "hello" to the teacher entering the room. She then proceeded to pull my hair and told me to go to sleep. Sorry, it's the only memory that I have.
naptime!!!
I honestly don't remember very much from Kindergarten at all. The only thing that sticks out in my mind is that there was this little boy who liked to follow me around and give me kisses!

Back when I was in Kindergarten all we did was play. No work what so ever. So I liked going to play with all the other kids.
