Kindergarten sentence writing can be made easy! Check out how I introduce sentence writing as a literacy center. Then, we build on it to make this a year-long literacy activity.
Kindergarten Sentence Writing
Writing a sentence in kindergarten can be daunting. However, it doesn’t have to be! I introduce kindergarten students to writing simple sentences with these engaging activities early in the year and build upon it month after month!
We start the year off slowly with a very simple sentence structure. In August and September, I start with just one sentence for the students to manipulate. They read it over and over with a variety of pointers (which are a BIG deal and a great tool for young students). The first week of school we do this activity as a whole group. Simple! We take turns with the pointer. Students love building sentences! It is a great way to incorporate sight words, too. Then at the end of the week, I usually say, “Friends! We have had so much fun with this activity. What if we make this one of our literacy centers?” They always cheer, “YES!”
A few weeks later, I might say, “Hey friends, when you go to this station, let’s write our own sentences! I break out the recording sheets and say, “Let me show you how.” This is a whole group activity. Simple! However, the product is not always stellar. That’s okay! We have all year to perfect it.
In August and September, the words are hard to read. The illustrations need a bit of interpretation. In my opinion, that is just fine. If we wait for perfection… we will be waiting until January. Nope! We can practice sentence writing and get better NOW!
After a few weeks of this, I might nudge in while a student is working at this station and do a little teaching. I might show them how to make the sentence neater. I might show them how to make smart color choices or even add a color word. Or… even suggest that they use crayons instead of a pencil to color. Oy!
Then during our center debrief (a MUST), I might say, “Friends, do you know what I saw Joe doing at the pocket chart station (where I have the sentences)? I saw him working REALLY hard to make his letters clear. He even put a capital letter at the beginning of his sentence! You know what? That is what writers do and it makes my heart happy. Look at THIS!” Then I show it to them. Oh my MERCY! They ALL want to make my heart happy and we elevate the work. By slowly raising the bar… we raise the expectation.
Winter Sentence Writing
As Winter comes, we are getting better and better at writing sentences. I like to keep this center as new and exciting as possible, but stay predictable for student success. Each month, kindergarten friends practice writing complete sentences that are thematically linked to what we are learning or perhaps what we are focused on. New sentence starters and seasonal picture cards are added each month.
By this time of year, students are confidently writing sentences using this great activity during literacy centers. This is very exciting! They are so proud of their work… and of course, I love seeing how far they’ve come. Kindergarten teachers… you will love seeing the progress in your young learners, no only at this literacy center but also during independent writing time.

Emergent Readers too!
I love having the option to add in an emergent reader, either to the center for students to complete if they get finished with their sentence writing, or to use some other time during our day for extra practice.
Kindergarten Sentence Writing: Phonics
There are times when I want students to focus on a specific phonics skill as much as possible. I will, occasionally, mix up our thematic sentence writing center and add in sentences to practice various phonics skills. Long and short vowels, CVC words, blends, digraphs… these early literacy skills can be practiced during a sentence center activity.
Between the thematic sentences and the sentence writing with a focus on phonics, I can easily keep this literacy center going all year. Your students will love these fun ways to practice their kindergarten writing. You can also use these picture and word cards with first grade students or any beginning writers!

..The Best Simple Sentences for Kindergarten
There are so many fulfilling perks to teaching kindergarten, but near the top of the list is teaching students how to read. I think one of the best parts of literacy instruction is seeing the excitement in my students’ eyes when they start reading sentences! Once students are ready to take that step, it’s just a matter of keeping up that momentum and excitement with additional practice. In this post, I’m sharing some of my favorite ways to use simple sentences for kindergarten reading instruction.
Are My Students Ready for Reading Sentences?
Before we can expect young learners to read even simple sentences, it’s important to make sure they have the right foundation. The road to reading sentences includes important milestones such as:
- Identifying letters by name
- Identifying the sounds that letters make
- Blending sounds together to read words
- Reading words fluently in isolation, including sight words
Plus, between each milestone is a variety of phonemic and phonological awareness skills that need to be mastered in order to build a solid foundation for reading.
Once this foundation is in place, students are ready to begin reading words within sentences. Keep reading if you’d like to sneak a peek at the simple sentences that I use with kindergarten students when they’re ready to take this exciting step!
Simple Sentences for Kindergarten
There are many ways to practice reading sentences in kindergarten. Below are some of my favorite ways to incorporate simple sentences into literacy instruction. I love that these activities are perfect for literacy centers, morning work, small group intervention, or even homework! These activities also grow with students, so that they can read more challenging sentences as they learn more phonics patterns and master additional high frequency words.
Sight Word Fluency Sentences
When students first start reading words within sentences, it’s helpful to start with predictable text. I find that sight word fluency sentences are perfect for this!
These simple sentences often arrange the sight words in a predictable pattern, such as “I see a cat. ” and “I see a pig.” This means that students can practice decoding words within sentences while building their sight word fluency. It’s a win-win!
Read and Reveal Sentences
Hands-on activities will help students stay engaged in reading practice. Read and reveal cards are always a hit with students! This activity has students read simple sentences on a card, then unclip the flap to reveal a picture that corresponds to the sentence. Students will use their comprehension skills to decide if the sentence they read makes sense with the picture they just uncovered.
Since this adds an element of self-correction to the activity, read and reveal cards are perfect for literacy centers, morning work, or even a fast finisher activity. The fine motor practice from using clips for this activity is an added bonus!
Sentence Scramble Activities
As students grow more comfortable with reading sentences, they will start to get a feel for the natural rhythm of language and word order. This, in turn, will help improve reading fluency. One of my favorite ways to help students understand and practice word order is with sentence scramble activities. After putting a sentence in the correct order, they can practice reading it fluently.
You can add some cutting practice by having the students cut out the scrambled words themselves. Plus, having the word strips available to move around helps students in the task of unscrambling each sentence.
Sentence Dictation
Writing activities are another way that I incorporate simple sentences into literacy instruction. When students write sentences, they are able to practice their phonics skills in a different, yet still very important, way. Sentence dictation is a great activity that incorporates many kindergarten skills!
After listening to a simple sentence, students will use their phonics skills to write each word in the sentence. Then they will use their fine motor skills to form the letters and words in the sentence. Finally, students will practice reading what they wrote as they decide if their written sentence matches what the teacher said. Sentence dictation doesn’t have to take a lot of time! If you have whiteboards and markers out for a different activity, do a quick sentence dictation before having the students put things away.
Sight Word Sentence Strips
This is another activity that incorporates writing as students practice reading sentences. Students can use these sight word sentence strips to practice decoding sentences fluently as they practice writing them as well.
Once these strips are laminated for durability, students can use dry erase marker to practice letter formation as they copy each sentence. This is another activity that students can work on independently during literacy centers or morning work time.
Since these sight word sentences are prepped and on binder rings, you can also take them on the go for even more practice! Use them as “password” flashcards: Have each student read a sentence from the bundle before entering the cafeteria, going outside for recess, or leaving for the day.
Kindergarten Reading Fluency Passages
Young learners get so excited when they can start reading passages with multiple sentences! This is why I love to use kindergarten reading fluency passages. Students are able to review phonics patterns and high frequency words as they improve their reading fluency and comprehension skills.
After students have had time to practice each passage in the classroom, I encourage them to take it home and read it to friends and family. They are always so excited to show off their reading skills!

And what wonderful performances are being prepared for us - children's matinees.
We go to kindergarten with pleasure!
Thank you very much!

In general, it is felt that a very friendly and well-coordinated team and experienced specialists work in the garden. This is also very important.

Afanasyev family (group No. 8, 06/09/13)
Thank you teachers!
My son attended group number 9 from 2010 to 2012. We came from home, we had not visited the nursery before. At first they went to the clock, within a month they got used to it and began to stay for the whole day. Very sincere people work here: Lebedeva Marina Guryevna, Nesterova Galina Anatolyevna, Zarubina Marina Anatolyevna, Filimonova Anna Vladimirovna. For me personally, these people have become very dear. This garden is a wonderful preparation for school. Our teachers are interested in the success of their graduates, and graduates visit their kindergarten. And what holidays they did! This is a delight! One can only guess how much work it cost them. Now we are in the 1st grade, I would like to say a huge thank you for their care, preparation for school. Low bow to you!
Belova Irina Borisovna.

Thank you teachers!
I really want to express my gratitude to the teachers of group No. 9 for their attentive attitude towards our children, preparing children for school, beautiful holidays, interesting exhibitions of children's work, informative parent meetings. We still remember the "Funny Quiz", in which parents and children took part.
We came to a bright, clean, recently renovated group, where there are a lot of toys. Children enjoy attending kindergarten.
We thank the head of the kindergarten E.V. Sergeev for creating a developing environment in the group and a good selection of teachers.
Thanks a lot! We make you success!

Dear Svetlana Nikolaevna, Natalya Igorevna and Olga Fedorovna!
We express our deep gratitude to you. We would like to note your high professionalism, sensitive attitude towards children, care, attention, kindness and warmth, individual approach to each family. The educational process is organized in such a way that all the little things of everyday life in society, in the family and in the team are taken into account. Children are happy to go to the garden, because there they will be met by their favorite teachers, with whom it is easy, interesting for them and they can share children's secrets. A comfortable warm atmosphere reigns in the group due to understanding and equality. You teach our children to be friends and respect each other, to create and fantasize, to appreciate beauty, to be honest, kind, caring. Our children are proud of their achievements, they are happy to show us their crafts, they repeat what they did in kindergarten with interest at home. Step by step, under your strict guidance, children learn about the world around them, the joy of friendship, and their personal abilities. The group is clean and tidy, comfortable and cosy. The children are well fed and tidy. We fully trust you, because it is very important for a parent, when he leaves a child for almost the whole day, to know that his child is in good hands. We are calm for the life and safety of our guys, because next to them is a real team of professionals. We are very grateful to you. Thank you! We are very lucky to have you!
The Fedorov family (group No. 3).
Thanks to the staff of the kindergarten.
We, the parents of kindergarten No. 235, group No. 7, want to express our gratitude to the head of Sergeeva Elena Valentinovna. Under her leadership, improvements in the life of the kindergarten are noticeable. The groups have all the conditions for the development of children, according to the age category. For our children, the chefs cook in the renovated kitchen. The territory of the garden is always put in order. All wishes and comments of parents are taken into account. At parent meetings, questions on the work of the kindergarten are always discussed, reports on the work done are always carried out. Everyone knows that the work of a manager requires an attentive and reverent attitude towards each employee, while remaining quite strict and demanding in the performance of duties. in our opinion, Elena Valentinovna is such a leader.
Separately, we want to note the work of our educators Volkova Svetlana Borisovna, Kravets Galina Nikolaevna, speech therapist Chistova Olga Alexandrovna and assistant teacher Mikheeva Valentina Anatolyevna. We would like to note their high professionalism in difficult work with children. We, parents, always look with great interest at all the creative works of our children, which are exhibited in the locker room of the group. It is impossible not to note their work with parents, they will always explain, give advice, our requests and comments are never left without attention. At the children's laying, the teachers made a labyrinth and a slide of snow, which the children really like. At matinees, we watch a small performance with great pleasure and pride, where teachers with our children dance, dance and read poetry! It is always unforgettably interesting. We would like to note the work of our speech therapist. Both group and personal classes are held with children. Of course, we, parents, immediately noticed the positive result of these classes. Our children do their homework with great pleasure, which Olga Aleksandrovna spends with them during the week. Thanks to the teacher's assistant Valentina Anatolyevna, the group is always perfectly clean and tidy. Which is very important for every parent. Of course, the work of specialists (music director, educators in physical education, mathematics, drawing and modeling) makes the stay of children in kindergarten more interesting and varied.
Step by step, under the strict guidance of these educators, our children learn about the world around them, learn to be friends and respect each other, learn to work independently, learn personal opportunities taking the child to kindergarten, it is very important for any parent that the stay in the group is as comfortable as possible. And with our children a real team of professionals is nearby, so we leave our children with a calm heart, as we are sure that they will be fed on time, looked after, and, most importantly, trained and properly educated!
Parents of group No. 7: Kuryleva O.V., Skvortsova O.V., Danilova T.S., Antonova E.N. 03/22/2013
Thanks!
We would like to express our gratitude to the teachers of group No. 6, kindergarten No. 235 Tatyana Vladimirovna and Anzhela Mikhailovna. Wonderful teachers: caring, loyal and friendly to both children and parents, have an amazing ability to find a special approach to each child. They conduct developmental classes with the children, sculpt, draw, dance and sing, learn poems and songs (the children even sing at home). Our educators put so much soul into their work, and what matinees they spend with the kids!!! Parents leave the holidays with a lot of positive emotions.
I would also like to note the skillful and sensitive leadership of the head of the kindergarten, Elena Valentinovna, who creates order in the garden, a friendly and warm atmosphere, and always keeps in touch with parents. After all, without her competent guidance, there would probably not be such teachers working with our children.
Thank you so much for everything you do for our kids!
Our nursery is the BEST!!!
Parents of group No. 6 (30.03. 13)
I would like to thank the administration and teaching staff of our kindergarten.
Excellent organization of classes, highly qualified and attentive teachers, excellent professional preparation for the holidays of both children and teaching staff, a cozy atmosphere, cleanliness, excellent food, a child who goes to kindergarten with real pleasure - these are the main indicators of the level of our kindergarten.
Elena Valentinovna and her staff make every effort to ensure that our garden is always an "excellent student". I am very glad that my child attends kindergarten No. 235, and I wish the team to keep this warm and cozy atmosphere of the kindergarten, which you want to go to in the morning.

Dear staff of kindergarten No. 235!
I would like to express my deep gratitude to you for your upbringing, care, kindness and sensitivity to our children. This kindergarten is attended by my second child, and again we cannot get enough of the warm atmosphere that reigns in the garden. I would like to express my special gratitude to the medical staff. Thank you very much for the constant monitoring of the health of children. For many years, you have been involved in disease prevention. Oxygen cocktails, therapeutic exercises, outdoor exercises, of course, increase immunity. Thanks also to the head - Elena Valentinovna - for the fact that she pays great attention to the medical direction.
With respect, parents of group No. 3.
Dear Svetlana Vladimirovna, Rimma Pavlovna and Svetlana Konstantinovna!
Thank you very much for taking care of the smallest children in the kindergarten. You have done a great job teaching our children to count, play, dance, sing and much, much more. We believe that this requires great patience, pedagogical talent and boundless love for children. At the cost of your friendly, calm, confident behavior, professional experience, you managed to organize a matinee dedicated to graduation from the nursery, bright, cheerful and unforgettable!
Parents and children are grateful for everything you have done for us!
There should be more such teachers!
Many thanks to the musical director Ekaterina Nikolaevna.
So the cherished door opened in summer,
Will scatter from groups of children.
To all educators we will bow to the ground,
And nurses, and nannies, and cooks.
You set fire to the hearts of children with love,0007
For children's happiness, praise and honor to you!
Your work is like tributaries by a river,
Thank you very much for being you!
Parents of a group of young children.
Kindergarten No. 235 is the best kindergarten in the city!
Yesterday I bought stationery in the store, and the seller asked me if I was taking my child to an expensive kindergarten. I answered that in the most ordinary kindergarten. “Although,” I said, raising my head proudly, “our kindergarten is the best kindergarten in the city according to the results of the current year. And I want to tell you about the best group, in my opinion, the best kindergarten.
For two years we were happy to go to the 10th group. And when the time came to move to the mass, of course, there was a lot of unrest about this. Firstly, I was anxiously waiting for a meeting with new teachers, because. it seemed to me that it could not be better than our former educators. Secondly, Nastya's character had formed a difficult one by this time. She does not accept all adults unconditionally. There were also not unfounded fears that a certain kind of friction and misunderstanding might arise. Thirdly, they were afraid how she would join the already established children's team. Will she find friends there, because children are now difficult, and for a child at this age, communication in a children's team is no less important than with adults. And the most important fear was that there were 2 times more children in the mass group than in the previous one. It seemed to me then that no even the most wonderful teacher could cope with thirty screaming, laughing and crying children of this age at the same time. And that day has come!
We came to the 4th group. It was very disturbing. Nastya was hiding behind me, and she clearly did not intend to make contact. But, having reached the stairs to the second floor, it seemed to us that we were in a fairy-tale meadow flooded with sun, where butterflies were flying around. Such an effect was created by bright curtains and multi-colored iridescent butterflies skillfully attached to the walls. The mood immediately improved, even Nastya decided not to cry yet. After all, the educators who invented and made such beauty cannot be not kind and friendly. The junior teacher Elena Stanislavovna met us. Friendly, active, with kind eyes and a soft, "home" smile. She answered my questions very clearly and competently. Somehow she quickly found a common language with Nastya and went with her to the group. I was surprised: what professional junior educators work in kindergarten. From the very first day, I was completely sure that we were lucky again. In any case, I went to work that day without waiting for the “concert” from my daughter, which I was very glad about. Having taken Nastya home in the evening, I listened to a bunch of positive reviews about Elena Stanislavovna. And even Nastya promised not to cry tomorrow if there was again a “beloved nanny” in the group, as to this day, Nastya calls Elena Stanislavovna.
We began to wait for the release of our tutors. But there were no more worries about it. I have already seen the group prepared for the children by the teachers. This is a very cozy room, with such a variety of toys, which, I'm sure, is not even in many apartments. All toys are in good condition. And among them there are many developing ones. The new furniture, which is so skillfully arranged, that despite the small space, the group does not look cramped and cluttered. All around cleanliness and comfort. All this characterizes our educators as good housewives, creative personalities and, what is most important for me, not indifferent people. In addition, I heard a lot of good reviews about them from people whose opinion I tend to listen to. In short, we were looking forward to meeting them.
I write in such detail about my first impressions, because. I still feel the same enthusiastic feelings for them now. And I can say with confidence that our teachers: Tatyana Vladimirovna and Olga Anatolyevna are the best teachers not only in our kindergarten, but also in the city. In no case do I want to offend the beloved teachers of other children, but I am the author of this letter, and I can have my own opinion. I will give a few examples so as not to be unfounded. I often come for the child early. Now I have already got used to the silence in the group during classes or meals, but let's not forget that there are thirty children there. How can you maintain interest, teach something to so many children? I don’t understand how you can be with so many children in the same room all day. And yet I never heard them even raise their voices. I have not seen a single child who would be injured in the group or not calmed down if he fell. With just a look, calmness, professional wisdom, they resolved the emerging conflicts. Our educators gently, with their very appearance, have a sobering effect not only on naughty children, but also on us parents. I have never seen one of the parents speak rudely to any of them. It's just not possible. I, as a quick-tempered person by nature, often learn from them patience and sincere love (note, for other people's children). Rarely does a caregiver become a de facto member of the family, whose opinion is sought after and valued. And Olga Anatolyevna and Tatyana Vladimirovna became truly second mothers for our children.
I am sure that for a long time, even when we leave for school, we will come to our beloved teachers for advice, and just share our joy. After all, we are already used to the fact that next to us there are such responsive and attentive, balanced and not indifferent, creative and highly qualified teachers.
I could write a lot about those exhibitions and show jumping in which our educators and their pupils took part, became prize-winners and winners. The number of creative works, surprises, drawings and crafts that Nastya brought home simply cannot be counted. How many merry holidays and entertainments passed in the group, not a single child's birthday was left without attention. I especially remember the musical performance in which Nastya played Baba Yaga. The child wants to go to kindergarten and sincerely loves his teachers. And this is the most important thing, because I can safely trust them with my daughter while I'm at work.
And I would also like to note that our educators are just beautiful young women who are raising wonderful children who have succeeded as mothers and as housewives. Thus, they set a positive example for the younger generation, especially girls. An example of the fact that in our time you can successfully make a career and be happy in your personal life.
Summing up the above, I would like to say “many thanks” to the head of the kindergarten, Elena Valentinovna, for keeping a wonderful team, despite the fact that the state almost does not help her in this. I wish patience, joy and health to the wonderful teachers - Olga Anatolyevna and Tatyana Vladimirovna. After all, including the best educators make our garden the best in the city. Thank you very much for our children!

Graduation in kindergarten - how to organize a graduation in kindergarten and what to give
Graduation in kindergarten is one of the most important, bright, memorable events not only in the life of a child, but also of parents. In this regard, quite natural questions arise:
- How to spend a kindergarten graduation to feel and keep genuine original emotions in your memory for a long time.
- And also why is the upcoming event so significant for adults and, first of all, for kids?
Significance of the holiday for children and parents
For a child, graduation in kindergarten is a kind of end to the first stage of socialization. The transition from a completely carefree childhood period to a longer and no less responsible schooling. Ahead of new sensations, goals and expectations, accomplishments and victories. Therefore, experts (teachers, psychologists) recommend taking the preparation of such a transition with a certain degree of seriousness and attention.
In turn, for parents, the upcoming holiday means not only emotional experiences associated with the growing up of the child, awareness of the rapidly running time, but also direct participation in the preparation of the festive event - graduation from kindergarten. In many ways, the success of the matinee: the sincerity of smiles and positive emotions that will stay with you for a long time depends on such important points:
- Careful and high-quality planning of the holiday, thinking through the general concept and detailed details.
- Well-coordinated interaction, first of all, within the parent team, as well as parents with the teacher and other employees of the preschool institution involved in the preparation of the holiday. It should be noted that it would be appropriate to preliminarily divide the responsibilities (i.e., decide who does what from the parents) even at the time of the initial discussion and planning of the upcoming event.
- In addition, a photographer and video operator play an important role in the upcoming event. It is their professionalism that will determine how high-quality pictures and video frames will remain after the first your baby graduation. After all, you must admit, you want to keep dear, exciting and sincere memories forever for your descendants, carefully passing them on through generations.
In order to fully enjoy the graduation party in kindergarten, the atmosphere of joy and ease, the light but pleasant excitement that prevails on this day, as well as touching and sweet sadness, you must:
- Prepare in advance for the organization of a children's event (as a rule, the choice of scenario, distribution of roles, discussion of issues of festive decoration for the room and other preparations begin a few months before the event itself).
- For parents to think over the appearance of the child in advance (dresses, costumes, hairstyles)
- Take care of memorable souvenirs/gifts for the kids, as well as presents for the staff of the teaching staff (teacher, assistant teacher, music worker, administration).
- Consider thank you speeches.
- Take care of the entertainment program for children after the official part.
- Be sure to book the services of a professional photographer and video operator. After all, as practice shows, all interesting offers will be exhausted closer to the celebration, and you risk being left without high-quality photos from the graduation ball, which will be replenished with the graduation photo album and video later.
When ordering the services of a photographer, it is worth remembering that the photo album itself, as well as the video from the festive event, are not a gift for the child on the day of the matinee. Rather, it is a memorable souvenir for the baby, parents and relatives about the graduation itself. Therefore, professionals recommend making out an album, including beautiful pictures from this event. And it is most logical to pick up the finished version of the photo album after the prom.
In detail about the main thing: action plan for parents of young graduates
How to organize a graduation in kindergarten so that it turns out to be a really interesting and memorable children's holiday that adults (parents, relatives, relatives) will like, and, most importantly, the heroes of the occasion themselves?
Discussion of the general concept of the matinee
And so, the first on the list of items is the planning of the event, which includes a discussion of the general thematic concept with details and details.
As a rule, the ready-made version of the upcoming matinee is offered by the educator together with the musical worker of the garden. It traditionally includes:
- Five-minute introduction by the director of the preschool
- The beginning of the matinee: the solemn entry of the kids to the beautifully decorated hall accompanied by musical accompaniment
- Presentation of the guys as the main characters of the festive event
- Smooth transition to the beginning of the main part of the prom
- Completion of the solemn event with a speech of thanks to the kindergarten teacher and administration, delivery of flowers and gifts to the kids.
But parents, if desired, can make adjustments or supplement the proposed scenario. It is important that it is not too long in time and is understandable for children's perception, includes game and competitive moments, for example, simple but interesting competitions, musical numbers: dances and songs, so as not to overwork the kids.
Just right to remind you that the choice of a festive outfit should also be treated with special trepidation. Clothing should correspond to the event, the given theme and the general concept of the matinee, but at the same time be convenient and comfortable.
Decoration of the room for a festive ball
After the guys get the “roles” and the text to learn (usually a few months before the upcoming event), it’s time to think about the elegant design of the group’s room and the assembly hall in which the event will take place. Parents are advised to purchase the necessary paraphernalia (multi-colored balloons, flags, holiday garlands, etc.) about a couple of months before the event itself. It is best to decorate the hall on the eve of the celebration, but not on the day of the festive event.
It is worth noting that it will not be superfluous to have a preliminary discussion of the upcoming purchase with the group teacher, clarifying some of the nuances (for example, the number of items purchased, etc. ).
What to give for graduation in kindergarten
Parents of babies need to decide in advance on the options for gifts for children and memorable gifts for the teaching staff of the preschool educational institution, including the administration of the preschool institution. This also includes the purchase of flower bouquets for the teacher and other employees of the kindergarten (assistant teacher, music worker, methodologist, head).
A suitable gift for children on this day will be sets of office supplies, school supplies (pencil cases, globes, encyclopedias, textbook stands, etc.), which may come in handy in the future and become a kind of symbol of preparation and transition to school life.
Also, personal certificates, medals, ribbons for graduates with inscriptions, which are ordered in advance, because they require additional time for their manufacture, are also pleasant memorable trifles.
And an excellent addition to the piggy bank of holiday memories will be an originally designed photo album or photo book, which parents can get after the graduation party itself.
Presents for adults (teacher, administration representatives) are individual for each group and depend mainly on the budget that the parents of young graduates rely on.
Thank you speech
No less responsible attitude requires the preparation of a thank-you speech to the staff of the teaching staff. After all, for several years these people gave love and warmth of their hearts to your dear children, taught them not only some everyday trifles, basic literacy, but also the ability to make friends and communicate within a group of peers.
The main condition: words of gratitude should not take much time, but at the same time, be sincere, touching, kind and sound to all members of the teaching staff who are directly or indirectly involved in the educational process of your children.
Festive buffet and entertainment program after the official part
The item related to the festive treat and entertainment for kids at graduation in kindergarten deserves special attention. As a rule, this section of the holiday follows the solemn part of the event, includes the services of animators and is transferred outside the preschool institution to a pre-rented cafe or entertainment center (at the choice of parents). It is important to understand here that the upcoming event is dedicated to children and their joys, so the wishes and needs of the heroes of the occasion should be a priority.
Order of commemorative photo albums and video shooting
What is needed for graduation in kindergarten so that the festive event remains in the memory of the kids and their parents, as one of the very first significant and vivid memories in life?
Without a doubt, the color of the prom, all the charm of children's smiles, touching experiences, slight sadness and, of course, the joy of what is happening can only be captured and captured by professional masters of photo and video shooting. If necessary, even suggest an interesting and original plot solution that fits perfectly into the concept of a holiday in kindergarten and a graduation party in general.
That is why the choice of the best photographer and cameraman is one of the priorities for the parents of young graduates, requiring special attention and responsibility on their part.
A few months before the start of the event, you need to view the possible options for the work of photo and video filming of the best, in your opinion, masters. Read the reviews, ask about the experience of working with children's groups and make the final decision by ordering services from professionals in their field in advance.
