[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 297220, member: 1722"] My big thing with Duckie is that she mustn't fully get out of school mode. We do reading and math most days, she still has a bedtime except for special occasions, and we maintain a routine. I also let her go to day camp for a week somewhere near the middle of our summer (last week)... we don't go back until September 9th this year. We get her supplies et al early so she doesn't worry about it... she makes choices where they are appropriate and meaningful. We re-organize her room so it's not so cluttered. We make sure she has any needed doctor appointments early (next week) so all the paperwork and medications are in place prior to the first day of school. I set-up for Duckie to be on a school bus with an monitor a month out so she's on the list when the routes are set (done as of yesterday). All this makes [I]my[/I] transition to the school year and that helps Duckie do better. It also has helped that she is in a multiage program: she looped with the same teacher for first and second grades and she had second grade math with the teacher she'll be with for third grade so she's comfortable with the teacher and classroom. It's really a great program for a more anxious child or one that struggles with transitions. [/QUOTE]
