When a child goes to school, his daily routine changes dramatically. Indeed, it is now necessary to provide time for sleep, and for walks, and for study, and for various additional classes. Yes, and mom does not hurt to help around the house. Therefore, it is necessary to develop such a
regimen for a first-grader’s
day , in which there is time for everything necessary, and which, in addition, will help preserve the health of the student. The correct distribution of time will help the child cope with new responsibilities more easily and get used to life conditions that are still new for him.
So, what should be the mode of day of the first grader? The morning rise time depends on a number of factors. If the educational institution is located “in a neighboring yard”, then you can wake up the child about an hour and a half before the lessons start (approximately at 7-7.15). In this case, he will be able to calmly wash, have a bite before a busy day, get dressed and take a leisurely stroll to school. Do not turn the morning into a constant race - if the child does everything slowly, it is better to wake him up a little earlier, and not to adjust at every step, sometimes breaking into a raised tone.
The daily routine of a first grader implies the presence of free time, which the child can spend at his discretion (but not in front of the TV and not at the computer). Therefore, do not overload his day with a variety of circles and sections. A first grader is only getting used to a new lifestyle, so the number of extracurricular activities should be minimized. Optimally, if they will take place no more than 2-3 times a week.
A walk with active games must also enter the first-grader's day mode. It is best to organize it on the way home from school, especially if the child still has additional classes on this day, or after lunch (from about 13 to 15 or from 14 to 16 hours). Of course, time should be provided for doing the lessons. Even if the first-grader is not asked homework, it is necessary to control the quality of assimilation of the material and eliminate all the gaps in time. It is best to start reading and writing after a walk (from 16-16.30 to 17-17.30).
The day regimen of the first grader should be adjusted if the child stays for an extra day. In this case, he is likely to complete all the lessons at school, and walks too. But it is better to devote the evening to extracurricular activities (several times a week), free time (games, drawing, reading), helping parents (preparing dinner together, cleaning the nursery, etc.). The child should go to bed no later than 9 pm.
In order for the child to understand what and when he needs to do, you can come up with a first-grader’s day regimen in pictures for him. Templates can be downloaded from thematic resources or developed independently. And if you draw a poster with funny pictures with your child, observing the regimen will be more pleasant and easier for him.
The first school year is a period difficult enough for every child, even a very developed and trained one. After all, a school is not only writing and reading, it is also a multitude of organizational issues, and independence, and responsibility. Therefore, it is very important to observe the daily routine of a first grader. The parent meeting, which is most often held in the first school days, will clarify various points in educational and organizational activities, after which you may have to make some adjustments to the daily routine of the child .
