Social/Emotional Tips for Families to
Prepare Your Child for Kindergarten
Welcome aboard!

Each week you will receive tips and resources to help your child prepare for this amazing journey! The North Penn School District is still currently planning what school will look like in the fall. Further information will be provided to families as we move into the summer. We are honored to partner with you and your child as they begin this school adventure at North Penn!

Today, we will discuss healthy eating habits...

An apple a day keeps the doctor away!
Encourage healthy eating habits and start talking about what your child might like to eat for lunch! Here are some tips:

  • Make it fun and educational! Children love the idea of trying to “eat a rainbow” as a way to eat healthy. 
  • Have meals together as a family and talk about your day to build oral language skills.
  • Teach your children the importance of handwashing and using hand sanitizer to keep away germs. And, have them practice doing it all by themselves to foster independence! 
Whole Foods Kids' Club
Make it a family affair! Further inspire your kiddos to start healthy eating conversations with books and activities from Scrapkins, Better Bites, Book Club and more!
