Get Ready for Kindergarten with Custom Lapel Pins
August is Get Ready for Kindergarten Month. Schools around the country are preparing for the occasion by steadily preparing parents and students for the transition. Kindergarten is some children’s first exposure to formal education.
Kids who have not have a chance to attend preschool or Pre-K classes often find the change in schedule and atmosphere difficult to adjust to. By easing young students into the classroom, educators can eliminate some of the fear and stress of significant life changes for both children and their mothers and fathers. The process of transitioning from home to school is what Get Ready for Kindergarten Month is all about.
Where Did the Word Kindergarten Originate?
The term kindergarten is German. It was coined by Friedrich Frobel, an influencer of education around the world. Kindergarten describes educational institutions for children from age two to seven based on the teaching method being taught. Susan Blow of St. Louis was the first to introduce the idea of Kindergarten to public school in the United States in 1873. By the time she had passed away in 1916, over 400 US cities had Kindergartens in their public schools.
