Entering Primary School is a significant step for a five or six-year-old. Children often feel fearful and anxious about going to a new school and a new environment. There will be many more students, and teachers. Students will take more subjects than when they were in preschool.
The objective of this book is to help the grade 1 student settle as quickly as possible so he can be about the business of learning. Every school age child in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, from Inagua in the South to Grand Bahamas in the North, will benefit from using this book.
In the absence of a Guidance Counselor, the student with the help of the Homeroom teacher, Family Life Teacher, and parent can still benefit from the materials in this book. The information required will place the Counselor or teacher in a better position to assist the student.
From this book, the student will learn: a. Ways to help himself successfully survive primary school. b. Study skills to perform better in school. c. Skills for building self-esteem. d. Skills for handling bullies. e. How to properly use the internet. f. How to save money at an early age.
These are valuable skills that should be beneficial to the grade 1 student for the rest of his/ her life.
Additionally, parents are asked to play an active role in the life of their child by utilizing the tools included in the book. These helpful tools will assist the parent in monitoring the progress of their child.
I wish a smooth transition into primary school for each child and parent who uses this book.
