National Homeroom Teacher Seo Jin's Elementary School Entrance Preparation
National Homeroom Teacher Seo Jin's Elementary School Entrance Preparation
Description
Book Introduction
Everything you need to know about elementary school admissions in 2025, as told by 12-year national homeroom teacher Seo Jin.
A new concept in elementary school preparation for mothers and children

Preparing for school and elementary school life for parents, with the know-how of elementary school teachers
A gift of an activity book for children to write and draw for a smart elementary school life.

March, when the leaves that had been dormant all winter begin to sprout, and a spring breeze that is neither cold nor hot flows like a song through the mountain slopes covered in forsythia.
When I think of my eight-year-old child walking to the entrance ceremony with a brisk pace, carrying a bag of indoor shoes with soft, sun-dried hands, my mother's heart warms like the spring sun, but then quickly becomes filled with emotion.
Are you missing anything? Are you listening to the teacher and getting along well with the other children? Are you eating well?
I was proud of myself for preparing my child thoroughly for elementary school, but somehow I couldn't help but prick up my ears at the chatter of parents I met on the way to school.

The place where prospective elementary school parents who are doing well for their children but want to do more gather one by one is 'National Homeroom Teacher Seo Jin's Instagram'.
“We will give you clear and easy information on preparing for elementary school admission!” he boasted, sharing the concerns he received from parents across the country and creating content with clear answers.
Teacher Seo Jin's elementary school entrance preparation content not only contains everything about elementary school life from the perspective of a teacher with 12 years of teaching experience, but also includes the thoughts of a parent who sent her first child to elementary school as a mother of two.


So, as a teacher, I firmly correct the information about some incorrect information uploaded only for the number of views, such as “School life is easier if you do it this way” or “You should prepare your supplies like this” or the “believe it or not” type of “carder communication” by saying “You shouldn’t do that!”
When I receive questions from parents who are worried about their children's school preparations, rather than being negative, I try to read the hidden feelings in the questions, comfort the questioner, and then offer clear solutions.


Since 2023, Teacher Seo Jin has been helping her followers prepare for college online, earning her the title of "college admissions expert."
Among the information I had been gathering over the years, the book 『Elementary School Entrance Preparation with National Homeroom Teacher Seo Jin』 was published in 2025 with the concept of “Mom, you really need to know this.”
It's a quick and easy read, packed with only the essentials from a wealth of information. When you close the book, you'll have a clear picture of how to prepare for college and adapt to school life at the beginning of the semester.
Above all, I created an activity book for children with the idea that preparing for school is something that 'prospective students should take the initiative in preparing for.'
It is fun and highly useful because it contains a variety of content, such as writing a self-introduction, drawing lines to develop handwriting skills, learning how to read a clock, and putting stickers on to develop fine motor skills.
Let's have fun preparing for the 2025 school year with Teacher Seo Jin, shouting, "Breaking down the elementary school entrance barrier!"

Into the book
Before receiving the school admission notice, parents should explain the school admission notice to their children and guide them to be independent.
“○○, do you know what a ‘school admission notice’ is? It’s a piece of paper that the government gives to children who are going to elementary school, like a Christmas gift.
"I wonder if our ○○ will be able to receive it?" Encourage the child who has finished eating by saying, "Wow~ He finished his meal and cleaned up his plate well! With this level of skill, he will eat well at school and clean up his plate well! Isn't he going to get his school acceptance letter tomorrow?"
If you start building basic living habits like this from the end of November while waiting for school to begin, even a child who was just like a baby will be able to do a lot of things on his own.
Even if he fails again, he behaves differently than before, showing that he is constantly trying to do it on his own.
--- p.21

〈2022 Revised Curriculum〉 The previous curriculum was revised in 2015.
The overarching vision of the 2022 Revised Curriculum, which differs from this curriculum, is "leading individuals with inclusiveness and creativity."
It also defined that all students should develop foundational skills in language, mathematics, and digital literacy.
This is the generation in which the term digital literacy, which had not been covered in the curriculum before, is first introduced.
Digital literacy refers to the ability to collect and understand information and utilize new information based on an understanding of digital knowledge.
--- p.32

It is easier for children to understand how to tell the time when they are taught naturally in daily life rather than learning how to read a book while sitting at a desk.
If you're determined to teach your child how to tell the time, consider hanging a wall clock with large numbers in the room.
Or, you can encourage your child's desire to learn by buying him or her a wristwatch with his or her favorite character on it.
--- p.47

When you have a parent consultation at the beginning of your child's school year, you will talk a lot about basic living habits.
When you teach basic living habits, you end up fighting with your children constantly.
My child was so pretty and lovable until he started kindergarten, but as soon as he entered elementary school, there were more things to scold him for than to praise him for.
Teachers cannot teach children basic living habits verbally in a short period of time as soon as they enter elementary school.
Since consistent guidance is required at home, conflicts between parents and children can be reduced by consistently establishing basic living habits from the time they are in preschool, between the ages of 5 and 7.
--- p.51

In school, most things must be reported directly to the teacher by the student.
Therefore, before your child enters school, practice consistently at home and encourage them to express their opinions clearly.
For example, if a child cannot open a milk carton by himself during school milk service, practice opening the carton by himself at home first and then say, “Teacher, I tried to open it by myself, but it didn’t work well.
Have them practice saying, “Please help me,” and then saying, “Thank you” after receiving help.
--- p.65

Publisher's Review
No more complicated information! See the admissions process at a glance.

"Where do I get my admission notice?", "What should I do on the preliminary assembly day?", "Are supplementary classes like after-school classes?", "How do I apply for meal allowance and milk?" Every time I see the admission documents delivered to my home, I can't shake off a feeling of confusion.
You're probably not alone in spending all night searching for answers to the questions you have in your mind, whether it's through mom cafes, blogs, or message boards.


While it's good to want to know as much information as possible to thoroughly prepare for college, it can sometimes be a waste of time.
Some of that information may be important, but most of it doesn't need to be used right away.
If you want to put in just the right amount of effort during a time when you have a lot to do and a lot to prepare, I recommend this book.
This is because it contains only the most important content, so it is easy to read, and you can read it quickly without having to memorize it, so it will be organized in your head.
Let's finish preparing for school, which was thought to be a complicated administrative process, easily and spend the remaining time talking about a fun school life with your child.

●Changed revised curriculum and scope of pre-learning in Korean and mathematics●

Introduction of digital textbooks, revised curriculum, study habits, pre-learning… … .
Parents who have observed the curriculum changing along with the changing generations are left with many questions in their heads.
"So what do you want me to do?" If I were to take my first step into 12 years of education without any answers or guidance, where should I go?

This book provides detailed guidance on the starting point of the 12-year education.
Because I have personally seen and heard in the field how excessive pre-learning affects children's study habits and class time, I am explaining it in an easy-to-understand way using various examples.
Additionally, as a solution to this problem, we present a range of pre-learning that is considered reasonable while still allowing for easy completion of the curriculum.
You don't have to be scared or discouraged because we're telling you both the problem and the solution at the same time.

You can easily download various information related to children's learning, such as detailed information on the revised curriculum, revised textbook types and contents, and supplementary teaching materials used by teachers, through QR codes.

●Guide to Lifestyle Habits You Should Practice Consistently Before Enrolling●

What a child who is about to enter school needs most is not good deeds, but 'basic living habits.'
Basic living habits refer to actions that are habitual in daily life, such as waking up and going to bed at set times, washing hands before eating, not eating while walking around, and brushing teeth.
To adults, it may seem like a simple task that can be done with one's eyes closed, but to a child who must learn and master something new every day, it is like a huge homework assignment.

If you don't have a proper bedtime, you may have gotten used to going to bed late and waking up late.
Then, it is common to be late for school and spend the morning classes in a hurry while still half-asleep.
This not only affects learning, but also leaves a bad impression on peer relationships.
Since lifestyle habits need to be established over a long period of time and slowly become ingrained in your body, let's start with the determination to perfect them before entering school.


This book prioritizes the things to do in school life.
If you still don't know where to start, try making a [Basic Living Habits Checklist] with your child and practicing them one by one.
If you just do as Teacher Seojin tells you, there will be no more fighting over sleeping in, and there will be no more refusal to go to school.


●Q&A that answers the questions you were embarrassed to ask●

In Professor Seojin's DMs and offline lectures, questions like, "Can I ask this?" pour in.
If you look closely at the questions, they are questions that any parent would have, but most of them are ones for which you cannot get a clear answer.
Teacher Seo Jin said that the questions received here were ones that only prospective parents could ask, so he collected them one by one and saved them, and used them like a secret weapon online and offline to deliver 'life-related information.'

This book contains an appendix of frequently asked and frequently asked questions that I have heard over the years.
It explains the purpose and how to deal with it, such as the difference between parent-teacher conferences and parent-teacher interviews, how to write surveys for children, such as student understanding surveys and student emotional and behavioral characteristics tests, so you won't be confused even if you encounter it for the first time.
It also includes things related to children, such as allowance, Korean language study, and medication requests, so you can look into every aspect of school life.

●Activity book where children can draw and write on their own●

Parents may work hard to prepare for school, but it is the children who experience school life after the entrance ceremony.
For a child to do well in school, he or she must know in advance what school is like, what the school rules are, and how to treat teachers and friends.
Parents can indirectly teach their children about school life by looking at picture books, but children can only learn basic life habits, how to develop handwriting skills, and how to tell the time by experiencing them through drawing and writing.


This book is designed to help students experience the entrance exam preparation process, which they previously only knew through information, through activities.
The contents are comprehensive, including how to develop good living habits before entering school, preparing school supplies after entering school, precautions for commuting to school, school tours, class content, and studying Korean.
This activity book will motivate your child to enjoy going to school and will help build their confidence.
