We have split the 20 kids on the roll into two groups, so that I have 30 minutes with each group in the morning. Wow, 30 minutes....but what do I do with it? I have kids ready to read (almost), and kids who don't know more than a few letter sounds/names. I have done the yellow/red disks (found in teacher stores) to teach more/less and some graphing for the high group, I tried having them read Bob books today (the first one) but blending became a problem for some. The low group is a mixed bag of kids who don't sit well as well as don't know letter sounds or numbers. I need more action for them.

Has anyone done this? What ideas do you have that I should consider covering? I go to proteacher.net and many other boards, but haven't found one for my age group, they are always for slightly older kids (old 4's/young 5's, etc). I can't seem to find a great website for the age group of 3 1/2 year olds to 4 year olds, where most of my kids fall.

Thanks for any ideas.

Myrna Music and movement! Use chants, rhymes and songs to teach basic skills. Limit the circle time to 5 minutes then increase the amount of time gradually as they are ready. Also include props during circle time. Children love to see explore new objects. For example a piece of tree bark, pine cones, acorns, etc during a theme/lesson about fall or trees....See More
