So, I'm a new teacher to Kindergarten and I've have been dealing with some students with some serious behavior issues. We recently started school and I've been going over classroom expectations daily & working to establish routines and procedures and modeling. I've established assigned carpet/table seating. However, I have a group of students w...See More

Hi! Sounds just like my kindergarten special education classroom (self-contained). I am going to follow this to see other suggestions. Each year I am trying out something different. One year I made a huge gumball machine for one of my bulletin boards. Each time someone did something good (helped a peer, walked if a runner, etc.) they got to put a g...See More

I feel your pain! One year I had students like that and it was very difficult! The child who couldn't keep his hands to himself was give a big pom pom to hold. I told him it was very special to me and I was trusting him to hold on to it because I didn't want anything to happen to it. If the threw it , it didn't go far and nobody got hurt. It helped...See More
how many seating arrangements are appropriate for kindergarten?
I try to keep my class in groups no bigger than five. This year I have a group of 4, 4, 4, 5, 5. These groups are color coded: red for low kids, orange for low to medium, green for medium, blue for medium to high, purple for high. Their tables are organized/ color coded this w...See More

I don't think the students should be grouped more than absolutely necessary. Having them at a table by ability prevents them from learning by seeing what others are doing and getting to know the students who aren't at their same level. On the rug, I based the seating on behavior and only the years that I needed a seating chart. If they could make g...See More

I used to use a phonics song, but can't find it anywhere! It was on YouTube and it was a man singing it, kind of upbeat. Each letter had 2 words to go with it. The song started A a apple, a a ant, B ba ball, b ba bat, C ca, carrot, c can car, D da duck, d da door, etc. I know the lyrics, but want the video to go with it. If anyone knows this song, ...See More

I use that song every day after lunch! I found it on youtube.com. Search for "phonics 2". There are now several versions of it! We got a promethean board a couple of years ago and it is wonderful!
The speech pathologist told me that she can not believe how much my students are talking now as compared to the beginning of the year (17-18)! ...See More

Many years ago, someone shared signs for learning centers. On these signs were skills students would learn by working/playing at the center. Does anyone have those saved or could you tell me how I can try to find them?

I used signs like that when I was working with 3/4 year olds! I looked and could not find mine. But it is called "Just Playing by Anita Wadley". You can google it and it pops up. You might need to create your own posters (clipart) but the poem is still around! Hope this helps!
I would just like a kindergarten teacher to give me his/her BEST kindergarten rules that are SIMPLE! I would like to stick with 5! READY, SET, GO.....

We always talked about what rules we needed and then I summarized them into the 3-4 rules I wanted anyway (shhh). When I had a bee theme it was Bee safe, Bee respectful, Bee a responsible. That pretty much summed up all the little rules (don't hit, listen and follow directions, clean up after your self, use nice words, etc)

I have only 3 rules. All infractions can be put under one if not all three. 1) Show Respect 2) Make a decision and 3) Try to solve your own problem. My K students know what I mean if I look at them and say Rule 2 or Rule 1.

I know that even if I was in a wheel chair I would want to be there on the first day(s) and would want/need help from a sub, assistant, or trusted volunteer and wouldn't try to do it on my own. However, I would be leading, even if someone had to do the actual physical things like getting them down the hall to lunch, tying shoes, etc.
