Any seasoned teachers out there with experience in the joplin grouping strategy for reading? I'd like to hear your thoughts.
students can write down on a piece of paper what their thankful for using all the abc's
Any great, effective ways to teach opinion writing for kg. students?
I am trying to locate a website that offers free online book readings. I use my local library's website but their choice of books is limited. If you know of a good website that offers this, please share. Thanks!
I have a student who can not count to 10. He is on an IEP and gets help from the sped teacher, myself and paras and still is having trouble counting to 10. He has no concept of 1 to 1 and still does not recognize the numbers themselves. Anyone have any tips on how to help him? He is very visual and very distracted when learning. He is 6 years old.
We were told today that we have to test our k students on vocabulary words, how does one go about giving a kindergartener a vocab test ? It is not like they can read the words and choose an answer. I would think it would have to be an oral test of some type, has anyone else done this and how do you go about doing it?
How do I go about teaching a foreign language to a child with severe speech difficulties in kindergarten.

I have a very young kinder who barely made the cut-off date for k. He is small, very bright, but very violent.

Parents have not been totally honest with me--I found out his preschool had conferenced with parents twice about him not being ready for K and should wait a year. So far, he has days where he does okay with just minor reminders, but then he'll have several days where he hits, kicks, chokes, pushes/shoves others. Parents were going to pull him out but changed their minds. My theory is that, after years of always trying to meet the expectations of classes that he just barely qualifies for, his frustration level is causing him to act out. My counselor is involved, observations are being done, a daily behavior report goes home each day. He's beginning to try to avoid work, distracts himself and others constantly. Only writes when I coach him through---gave a volunteer a really bad time this week, just totally ignored the volunteer, acted like he couldn't even hear her. He's written letters of apology, he's lost recess time, he's lost Free Choice Time, he's gone to the principal's office numerous times, he's taken "think" laps around the track, he's had to hold my assistant's hand/my hand. Any other ideas???? At my wit's end. I am super-consistent, never show anger, yet am firm on expectations. I do think he runs the show at home with parents who accept his response of "it was an accident" or "I didn't do it on purpose". He does not follow directions well at all, just does whatever he wants to do without regard to others.
Asking advice on how to handle this one- without starting World War 3. Because it is Thanksgiving, we are making cornbread and butter in my kindergarten class. We have always done this.

Because it is Thanksgiving, we are making cornbread and butter in my kindergarten class. We have always done this. One of the first grade teachers was missing some heavy cream today- I generously offered her some of mine. Several hours later, I get an email from the first grade team- requesting a meeting discussing the continual "curriculum" issues of making butter in K and then doing it again in first grade. In other words, first graders have seen this before- first grade teachers are asking us to change our holiday/ thematic activities if they do them in first grade. My thoughts are- Doing something in K is not the same as doing them in Gr 1- learning is spiraled throughout the grades. Preschool does a HUGE Thanksgiving Feast- we K teachers have never had an issue with that. EVERTHING else in K is dictated to us- a push down Gr 1 curriculum- why can't we- at the very least, choose some fun holiday/ thematic activities- so what if Gr 1 does similar ones- they are the ones who should change their activities- if it bothers them so much. Does this seem petty to you?- because it sure does to me. The Gr 1 team has no problem voicing their opinions, they are very outspoken- I could never do this to one of our preschool teachers. So far, I have ignored the email- I really do not want to meet over this- I don't have the time or patience. It's foolish and unecessary .Advice, please???
