I will try to list as many tips that I can think of.....clear your calendar and get doctor, dentist appointments out of the way before the school year, have a self care kit at school with aspirin, etc., whatever you do at the beginning of the school year sets the 'tone for the year' so if you start something with kids (ie. a routine or something) i...See More

I transferred all my cassettes to CD using a cassette player and the Garage Band program on my Mac. It was slow because it transferred it in real time but I put them in iTunes and then burned as many copies as I had books for. I used individual CD players so each child had a book, CD and player and they didn't have to share. There are a number of o...See More

Some kinders come to school with a preschool or daycare and some have never been away from the family so you should assume that they know nothing about school, routines and procedures and that you will be the one to teach it all to them. Start by taking a simple routine (come to the rug from the table) and think about breaking it down into single a...See More

Hi JTeach 1! This reply is belated because I just joined this group. I've taught music to kindergarteners for more than 20 years. First of all, 25 children is a LOT - don't beat yourself up about problems with a class that size! Best two pieces of advice I could give you: 1. Have routines for everything so children know what to expect. This goes fo...See More

I am a retired K teacher and volunteer at a school near me. I am working with some kids who are really struggling with the words and tried to use the method we used but they have none of the materials so I am looking for ideas.

I send a list home with my students of the sight words. I also review the words we are working on daily. It is usually 1 word every 7 days until this time of the year we go to 2 words ever 7 days. I also made flash cards.
When I taught 2nd grade I had newcomers and started sending home 5 flash cards to work on. We would review them and I ...See More

I am beside myself about what to do with a boy who talks back constantly. I've talked with him, talked with his mom, but nothing has helped. He's fidgety and wiggly...constantly moving and refuses to move off the rug and sit at a table quietly. I really like him, but it is so frustrating!

Any other suggestions/tips/advice...See More

Check out Scholastic.com warehouse sales. I am not sure where they are located in the US but in MD and PA there are some. I also started sending home scholastic flyers my first year and would order books, sometimes I would earn free books with my orders.

I am doing a project for class and would like to reproduce a social experiment done in the late 80's.
All I ask is 5-10 books that you read to your class through out a school year.
