how to prepare your child for kindergarten

This time last summer, we were gearing up to send off my sweet boy to Kindergarten, and this year, it’s my baby’s turn. Cora will walk into those elementary school doors this time, and then it will just be me. I’ll walk home by myself, to an empty house, with a happy dog, until the kids’ day ends at 3 o’clock. http://teachmama.com/2012/08/how-to-prepare-your-child-for-kindergarten.html
