Back to School Checklists!

Another school year is approaching! It is such an exciting time for both children and parents! For some families, this marks the beginning of primary school, a very important milestone in a child’s (and a parent’s too!) life.

A few of the Greek4Kids students are starting primary school this year so we have put together a guide/checklist as well as a few tips for the families to help them manage the practical side of things! You may use this checklist not only for first graders but as a general checklist for primary school as well. Check it out to see if you are on track!

Now it is the time to start doing your school supplies shopping. If your child's teacher has not provided you with a list, the Greek4Kids list may help you decide what to buy.

Here is a mini version of both lists. You may print it and stick it on the fridge.

If you are anything like us and enjoy making your own lists, then you can download a blank list (the mini version).

Have a lovely time preparing for school!

 

What time is it? Τι ώρα είναι;

There is no better way to teach children how to say the time than to make a clock with them.

Here is a template that you can print out on card paper and make into a practice clock by adding a number hand and an hour hand. The numbers have a summer theme, which makes it more fun for the little ones!

Stay tuned for our Tell the time worksheets!

Reading Cards (summer theme)

In preparation for the new school year, we have been practicing our reading using reading cards. They are perfect for children who have just started learning how to read. Children can associate the picture with the short sentences, making reading fun! Here are two cards you can use with your child to encourage reading.

Through simple and short sentences which are accompanied by a picture, children learn to read and recognise words. You may use these cards to initiate conversation in Greek, by describing the pictures and asking questions.

Alphabet Flashcards with words

We have been working a lot on letter recognition with the younger of our students lately. It is a lot of fun and sooooo educational. It not only helps them memorise the Greek letters but also works on their memory and image association!

Here is a version of the alphabet flashcards accompanied by the whole word of the image used for each letter. If you are using the flashcards at home with your children (or if you are learning the alphabet yourself!) and you are not familiar with all the words this version will help you. Just click on the image, download the file and print out!

The big bad wolf

Children walk happily in the woods when they hear the big bad wolf! Where is he hiding and when is he coming out?

Children love this song! At Greek4Kids we sing it to learn the different clothes and accessories people (and wolves of course!) wear.

You can print the A3 version, laminate it and use it at home or in your classroom.
