Welcome to Teaching Kindergarten with Della Larsen Podcast!

Prepping for the first day of kindergarten is very different than any other grade. I have 34 first days of kindergarten under my belt and I can share some wisdom with you.

Takeaways: 

  • Make sure you know how your students are going home.

  • Color Code Bus Tags.

  • Use an easy fun activity like homemade play-doh.

  • Label your kids and everything they take out of their bags.

  • Memorize their names immediately.

  • Have a variety of fun read alouds ready.

  • Have dinner planned before you go to school.

  • Smile and have fun.
