That's a good idea. I have a couple of little guys that go sit in their cubbies with their "blankies" for a while when they get sad. I've just...
I totally feel for you. If the teacher is willing, maybe there could be a time during the day (after her lunch break on her way back to class)...
Thank you Beckysuek! It's not that I can't let him go. Good grief, he's gone to daycare full time since he was 8 wks old! I do think he has an...
I've had the appointment for the ADHD eval for a month. Long before school started. No, there is no way that I could possibly arrange my...
I posted a month or so ago for advice about putting my son in my PreK class versus putting him in the class next door. Well, against my better...
In my class, we sing Happy Birthday, give them a card, and let them pick something from the treasure basket. If the parents choose, they bring...
We don't really have "open house" at our school. We usually have a math night or art night where the kids come in with their parents and do...
Can you give us a specific topic you want to cover-rhyming, letter names, sounds, etc?
I think lots of first year (and even second year) teachers have to plan day to day. You just don't have the experience to know how things are...
I wish I could take credit for it, but I stole it from someone who posted a picture of theirs.
From those of us who you just described- THANK YOU!!!! People think we don't notice, but we do.
Thanks! I am really excited about my room this year. I have moved around so much that I haven't ever had a room that was set up and organized the...
I just posted some pics of my classroom. Even though we have started school, I still have a lot to do, but I put things up a little at a time as...
I'm sorry you were embarrassed, but thank you so much for sharing. I've read it three times now and laughed out loud each time. :lol:
I would make a new sheet each week. The main reason is that I would keep them as documentation. That way, if there is a child that is havning a...
I have had the same experience. I finally had to ask one or two people if they would have normally talked to a parent about it. That stopped...
I had twins one year who always referred to themselves with both names-for example, one of them might have said "TaraandKara (not their real names...
I've taught twins both ways and I think it depends on the kids and the parents. One year, I had two sets of twins in my class (and crazy enough,...
I also have a name cards for them to move when they come in. I have them sitting out on the counter by the door. The kids put their things away,...
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with lying to the children to get them to do what you want them to do-especially if you are setting...
