Any suggestions for a first year preschool teacher of 4-5 year olds? - teacher themed weddings
My first teaching position is 4-5 years in kindergarten. I am co-teaching with another woman who has extensive experience in teaching this age group, while just finished teaching a student in April. I look forward to suggestions, tips or activities that can be used in my first year as a kindergarten teacher. Pre-school education is practical and focused on child-centered. The Director explained that the program is not immutable, but the teachers choose the topics and the children to explore what interests Any help would be great! I began to feel a little nervous. :-) Thanks in advance!

I think you'll be surprised how much fun it is to be working with this age group. The biggest thing you need to do is listen. These children have much to say, but do not know if you really listen. Remember that this age group to be able to direct their should learn a lot. You need to show what are their interests, and then we will be the skills they need in their interest to add more. They teach reading, math and science, music, health and fitness, but to coordinate their interests. Her teaching partner East, as well as children, so keep your eyes and ears open and you can do many things that do not teach you to learn at the university! Do not be nervous. Just go with it. Whether your primary partner schools, and they take everything you as soon as possible. Interact with children. Their talk, play with them, ask questions, to think of helping them. Like: "What do you think will happen if you do this?"
Enjoy!
First, he worked closely with Professor of others is important to work together well. Sit & Go on timetables, responsibilities, etc.. They want to be sure you communicate well with others. Do not get along with his colleagues, expecially you work with care, can be very difficult to overcome sometimes. Be open and patient.
About their classroom "for a visual schedule for your kiddos. You can not read at that age, so calendars in places not just in words. Real photos are best, but if you don 'have no access to a camera, the work of the Clip-Art. This is especially important for the kiddos to fight, to say goodbye to Mom are. If the calendar is for all to see published, you can feel confident they can go home. You see the image in the calendar!
They have clearly defined areas in its class. If you have any stations or centers, used furniture, separate them. Make every single room.
Things I can not live without a master timer-live (the CD-rings, for example, a kitchen timer), music ', S (relaxing and downbeat), lots of dry erase markers, hand disinfectants, baby wipes, you will all of us that can be clean coffee corner, telephone registration be surprised (that reminds me the word of advice all the documentation! ).
One final tip, take some time for yourself. You'll burn yourself and if you do not care about yourself, how can someone else take care of? Relax at night with Bubblebath, think, read, relax in the open, what works for you! Good luck! Just the first day of teaching both. Enjoy it!

First, you must include the ability of his age. In this phase of his life, they need love and understanding. For example: The child takes a pen from another child. In order to know. Instead of anger, you will hear both sides of the story individually and remove the child who caused the problem.
You also have a fixed schedule that does not change, as do a different letter each week and at a time when certain things happen, like the 12:00 lunch every day or something.
Doing topics fun for kids as a clown dinasaur week or the week. Maybe a week or weeks in the jungle of color.
Have fun, you and the children with less emphasis on the early years at school!
Does someone who is fun, is not the laughter itself too seriously, and the children really understand. I think you need to get their tails with their children about what they like to do. I like materials that are open at the beginning ... to do the role, and colored pencils, water table, finger paints, etc. These activities do you talk with your children and discover what they want. For example, you may find that the child loves dinosaurs, so they play with dough, so that a part of activities to introduce the dinosaurs to play. You can tell that the child has established a new puppy at home and in the document that you want to sing a song or a veterinarian about the activities of the animals may have. I have my best ideas from my children. When children play and talk about things like work to get a lot more.
If you are parents, their ABCs and 123S in its class that want to integrate it into one of the above activities in any way.
Make sure, patience with the children, as in the first year of teaching just to let you know that your teacher is the cooperation of the boss you around, do not make them talk about problems in order to consult directly to the director. I do not know where you r, but when the lake is going in your area and receive information about the activities of 4 to 5 years. Learn the age in general, he calls himself st Allow me some monthly themes for the year.
September: First day of school all over me, my family, my friends
October: Halloween, assistant community health and safety
November: Thanksgiving, harvest time
December: Christmas, Christmas worldwide
January: New year, winter, and you can make new donor community
February Valentine's Day, President
Mar St Patty's Day
April: Insects
May: Farm animals
Jun; Summer Fun
Well, there are many good answers here! Before I answer, because most of the above activities, and you can easily Google and enter the investigation. Instead, I'll give you a personal consultation (in random order):
1. have a good cooperation with other teachers, which is, as you say with experience. Heard and their suggestions and concerns. Did you ask not to be afraid, and to clarify things. If all goes well, in that you learn a lot from him (as the reading of pages even if you fill more help) things. To learn hands-on experience is the best way. somehow you will be trained by him.
2. Just do not be a teacher, her children, but as a friend. this age is the age of the audience. Only they do not speak as a teacher but as a friend to laugh with them and ask them questions that are not necessarily related to your topic. You get many famous quotes from them.
3. There is a time to be nice, there is a time to stay hard. What I mean is that, despite his good play withChildren and show their weakness, let them know that you are still in office. Children this age can be very manipulative, without knowing them. Do not leave the "you love me coz im his mentor relationship, a class of 4-5 years can be heard very loudly. They have a lot of energy and I like to play with friends at this age. However, this can also lead to conflicts and petty disputes.
4. Always be vigilant and look for signs of problems or accidents. In short, always look ahead. This will avoid accidents or misunderstandings. ex. If you know of a toy is very popular with children, try more that happens, instead of waiting for a fight because of revenue have. I have to agree to be taught, but realistic. if theres just a toy and 10 children in the queue ... like to see? Another example, still a child in the classroom function. I invite you to simply walk and can for the time to play outside instead of going to wait to run with someone in the class.
5. Be flexible .- The pre-planning, organizationsson plans and activities, and establishing rules and routines are all good. However, learning to be flexible when things do not happen as planned. Instead be resourceful and to some changes, if necessary.
6. Finally, do not feel nervous, and I'm sure you'll do well. Ask here means that you are really looking foward it so that you can be a good teacher who is willing to learn and take on a new adventure with the performance of their students! Greetings and good luck! I am sure he will be an explosion of this school year!
Now, remember, first, that a patient may be the answer. Second, there are websites you with everything you need to know to know about the activities and adopt the best strategy for children. Just type in "preschool activities" or something like that on Google. You should see some very good sides! Oh, and do not be nervous, you will have no problems. I wanted to become a teacher because my love for children. When you start working with them, it comes naturally to you. ~ ~ GOOD LUCK
Getting to know children are taught. With every hour, or an activity that you submit, self-esteem embedded reinforcements.
I suggest you and all the lesson plans activities in problem-solving skills
And finally ... Take more of what they teach, if you structured.while more fun and less education
i
If you are not a big girl (I know it's mean, but regardless, I am a little strong, and this activity tires me quickly), then music CD Greg & Steve is an excellent choice for this age group. They teach colors, numbers, rhythm, etc., and get fancy in the same time, the circulation of blood and gross motor exercises. He memorized the songs, and then make a note of the colors, numbers, day of the month, week, etc.
My kids are a favorite creative drama, "He said: Imagine a tree blowing in the wind and not fall over, etc., then you're a rock star, then YouAre a diver puts on his oxygen bottle, the dip in the water, look They hide in by a shark, before moving to his ship. Otherwise, enjoy the same things, but it is on a rocket to Mars. I have never seen a group of children 2 to 7, absolutely adore Greg & Steve . to be called Get Set "to each other," five volumes of living. Also take advantage of "Kids in Motion" and get Hap Palmer "Sammy".
I l 'OIF was in my team I will e-mail a little bit, so you can listen before you buy. But they are invaluable, especially on rainy day cares. The application for the morning circle time, too.
You can do an activity to do with their hands on these things ... I've forgotten what its name ... But do it with corn starch and borax. When kids sticky hands and dripoff. When a cold surface) (table hard and flakes, but it goes soft again in a warm hand.
Painting with half of sliced potatoes in the shape you as a stamp. Pieces of colored paper are invaluable, never throw scrap construction paper. Instead, cut into small pieces randomly, if you have a chance and keep them in a large Ziploc bag. Kids love pasta and add all the forms or give them to insert the pictures. Help to fine motor skills. Ah ... a table of sand is usually a good idea. You can buy or your own, you can buy sand from Home Depot or something and put it in toys. Children especially love this. Just watch out that mixinggroups that raise children, even-tempered sand. If you are someone's hyper-four children and throw the sand Uh Oh!
Shaving cream with a few drops of the mixed color is great fun, too. You can play with it and the color on white paper, just be sure not to use paint that does not stain hands or table. No Color!
You can also edible play dough and color of making Kool-Aid powder (single-use, re-use, non-edible dough is printed)
Felt board stories are to be invaluable. You can buy one, but since I was 2 years and with hyperactive children aged 4 years, I have always preferred to think.
Walmart-$ 2 foam board, 99 cents out of black felt cloth, 2 sticks of glue, a glue gun. Add the direction of foam board (where the edges enough to reach behind the desk. Also want to stick another piece on the back of the board cover to the position of the queue:-X
Search online for models of popular songs and stories for kindergarten children. Print and (color or let the kids color laminated) and then. I prefer rolling my own (tinyMachines can cost 40-60 dollars a Sam's Club and Costco) I liked this method because, if my 2 accidentally chewing on my games Feltboard or 4 entries, it is easy to replace print only not set in ruins, and it was so cheap to make .
I even took photos of my children and physical character of the Bureau of sense and we have done stories for children (and some other storybook characters.) They loved it.
I can give you other ideas if you want an e-mail. Just Shoot Me a message via Yahoo.
As someone who has for several years, is the most important thing I can say, take care of you. After a complete physical examination and ensure that their vaccinations are current. Eat a balanced diet and get plenty of rest! It seems that their curriculum is more or less like his teacher and tells her role is also supported. One thing you need to do is find the holes in the program .. Culture is too often neglected by the older teachers. Become an expert makes the additional read and see all the programs in the educational TV channels. Maybe his teacher was not as dirty. You can shine, bring your own in areas such as paint or clay. Be careful not to tear lead to the authority of teachers. These people have much to teach, teach not in the pages of a book!
You can never go wrong with finger paints. This is a small, but very expensive if you do not want the disaster, the question of the color of things. Kids love it. Or you could try to Sing-A-Longs.
