Parody of the 12 days of Christmas about riding the bus， counting， painting， sorting， and other activities。

This one was just okay for us。 It’s not a bad book， just very repetitive （which is often a good thing）， and read/told in the style of The 12 Days of Christmas。For some reason， my 5 year old just didn’t take to it （and actually would ask me NOT to read this one during our reading times）。It is a nice concept though， and goes through all the fun things that kids do in kindergarten。 Told in a different style I think my son would have enjoyed it more。 But， it’s a style that I’m sure lots of kids WOUL This one was just okay for us。 It’s not a bad book， just very repetitive （which is often a good thing）， and read/told in the style of The 12 Days of Christmas。For some reason， my 5 year old just didn’t take to it （and actually would ask me NOT to read this one during our reading times）。It is a nice concept though， and goes through all the fun things that kids do in kindergarten。 Told in a different style I think my son would have enjoyed it more。 But， it’s a style that I’m sure lots of kids WOULD enjoy！ 。。。more

This book is all about the fun things you get to do in kindergarten！ It is written with repetition （similar to the 12 days of Christmas） and had a nice flow to it。 Lexile: 610LGuided Reading: FTrait: Sentence Fluency

I give this book a 3， it would be especially fun for very young students going off to school for the first time。 However， the title doesn't seem to really line up with what is in the book。 Only the first page talks about the first day of kindergarten， every page after that continues to count the days in kindergarten。 With this idea though， I do like that each page builds off the previous in demonstrating that with each day in school something new is added into the schedule and routine。 This is a I give this book a 3， it would be especially fun for very young students going off to school for the first time。 However， the title doesn't seem to really line up with what is in the book。 Only the first page talks about the first day of kindergarten， every page after that continues to count the days in kindergarten。 With this idea though， I do like that each page builds off the previous in demonstrating that with each day in school something new is added into the schedule and routine。 This is a book that I could see myself reading to my incoming kindergarteners in the future to help get them excited about school and ease their nerves。 。。。more

Very repetitive and yet doesn't rhyme or scan。 Plus， for any kid NOT riding the bus to school， it's not very fun hearing twelve times that the great part about kindergarten is riding the bus。 Very repetitive and yet doesn't rhyme or scan。 Plus， for any kid NOT riding the bus to school， it's not very fun hearing twelve times that the great part about kindergarten is riding the bus。 。。。more

This book is a retelling of The 12 Days of Christmas but with activities in kindergarten。 Each day a new activity is mentioned， from making friends to riding the bus， to running in a race and much more。 These activities are usually done in one day not throughout 12。 I am not a fan of the original， so this book wasn't that impressive but kind of too repetitive， in my opinion。 But the kids are sure to love it！ https://wellreadmama。com/kindergarten。。。 This book is a retelling of The 12 Days of Christmas but with activities in kindergarten。 Each day a new activity is mentioned， from making friends to riding the bus， to running in a race and much more。 These activities are usually done in one day not throughout 12。 I am not a fan of the original， so this book wasn't that impressive but kind of too repetitive， in my opinion。 But the kids are sure to love it！ https://wellreadmama。com/kindergarten。。。 。。。more

A familiar Christmas song creates the cadence for a walk through Kindergarten。 The repetition gives kids a chance to sing specific events， too。 Visit the Reading Tub website to see the rest of the review。 A familiar Christmas song creates the cadence for a walk through Kindergarten。 The repetition gives kids a chance to sing specific events， too。 Visit the Reading Tub website to see the rest of the review。 。。。more

What a great read for the first day of kindergarten！ Composed like "The House That Jack Built" students will start to join the story， recognizing the pattern and predictable text。 :） What a great read for the first day of kindergarten！ Composed like "The House That Jack Built" students will start to join the story， recognizing the pattern and predictable text。 :） 。。。more

I absolutely love this book and I think it would be an excellent mentor text for letting the students compare their first day of kindergarten - I might be using this idea with my tutoring buddy。

An exciting book to read within the first week of kindergarten to help students in adjusting to all the fun they will be having although saying good-bye to their parents can be hard。

A cute book given to us by my son's Kindergarten teacher。 Today was his second day of school and he's in love， so this book was perfect to read to him before bed。It's about twelve things a Kindergartener would experience: riding the bus， lunch， field trip， recess and other school activities。 A cute book given to us by my son's Kindergarten teacher。 Today was his second day of school and he's in love， so this book was perfect to read to him before bed。It's about twelve things a Kindergartener would experience: riding the bus， lunch， field trip， recess and other school activities。 。。。more

This a fun and peppy book about what it's like to start kindergarten， written in the style of the "Twelve Days of Christmas。" In fact you could probably sing the book to the tune of that Christmas song。 The little girl narrator repeats everything and adds on something else about going to kindergarten。 Bright colorful illustrations show the activities mentioned in the text such as saying goodbye to mom and dad， making friends， running in a race， and singing。 All in all， this is a fun book that sh This a fun and peppy book about what it's like to start kindergarten， written in the style of the "Twelve Days of Christmas。" In fact you could probably sing the book to the tune of that Christmas song。 The little girl narrator repeats everything and adds on something else about going to kindergarten。 Bright colorful illustrations show the activities mentioned in the text such as saying goodbye to mom and dad， making friends， running in a race， and singing。 All in all， this is a fun book that should help to ease some fears about kindergarten and get kids excited to start school。 。。。more

Told in the same light as the Twelve Days of Christmas， it depicts twelve events a kindergartener would experience regularly。 Neo knew of many activities， but is still hoping his teacher introduces a field trip option！

a young girl is going off to kindergarten and each of her first twelve days recounts something new she loves。 Each day repeats all the activities from the day before。 Cute but a little long so preschool。

I have a five-year-old kindergarten daughter this year and we adore educational books written by Tish Rabe so I was intrigued to see how we enjoyed "On the First Day of Kindergarten" illustrated by Laura Hughes。 It was neat and a lot of fun to read with all my Littles。 Even my toddler and third grade child enjoyed the repetition of it all。 I think this would make a great addition to a school classroom especially for that first week or so。 Even as a homeschool family personally this is a fun read I have a five-year-old kindergarten daughter this year and we adore educational books written by Tish Rabe so I was intrigued to see how we enjoyed "On the First Day of Kindergarten" illustrated by Laura Hughes。 It was neat and a lot of fun to read with all my Littles。 Even my toddler and third grade child enjoyed the repetition of it all。 I think this would make a great addition to a school classroom especially for that first week or so。 Even as a homeschool family personally this is a fun read and speaks to the excitement and anticipation of things to come。 Each page repeats and builds on the event from before。 Reminds me of the hole in the bottom of the sea song my daddy sang with me as a child。 Review book， honest opinion。 8-15-2016 。。。more
