Just to preface my post, I am well aware that teachers do not diagnose students, and I'm not saying that we should. However, I see no problem in...

Do you have an interview for a K position? If you have just applied and don't have an interview yet, I would try subbing a few times in a K class....

At the preschool I currently work at, we have a student who is just about to turn four. We've had him about 6 weeks but still don't know much...
