i will have 14 kids in my class. There will be 2 adults in the room. How can I implement and manage learning centers in my classroom.
Hey guys, I am wondering if I can pick your brains. I have been teaching for about 7 years, the last five years have been in a preschool for children with special needs.

I have been teaching for about 7 years, the last five years have been in a preschool for children with special needs. This is my first year where I have an inclusion room. I have found that classroom management is my biggest challenge, I find myself constantly doing things to refocus/get their attention -- clapping patterns, if you hear the sound of my voice ..., or something I learned from love and logic, oh, I am waiting, and I wait for them without giving eye contact. I am beginning to think that kids at this age need these type of things a lot, and I am not sure if I am wrong or not. Admittedly, we went over the rules for the class for the first few weeks and then just reminders, and I think that is where I was wrong -- going over the rules all the time --, lining up this year was hard for them -- we started with holding hands, then who didn't want to hold hands, and now we do marshmallow feet, arms by our side, and I started to, which I wish I thought of sooner, stopping walking in the hallway (I walk facing them) when they are jumping, hanging onto the wall, not all of them do it, and I am always reinforcing good behavior, and I try to ignore a lot.I am just wondering if this is common in prek -- redirecting them a lot, refocusing them with clapping patterns, etc. I also know that they are only 4 and most of the just turned 5 and some of the expectations we have for the kids, right now, is too high. We go outside for 20 min. a day and have movement every day. I am just looking for other's experiences, and I find that I learn better from others' experiences. I am also too embararsed to talk to my colleagues. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!!
Is HighScope curriculum organized playtime?
I teach a Jr K class that is going to K in the fall. I am phasing out nap time and looking for quiet activities to do during that time of the day. I already have a summer writing journal but want to know your experiences in this transition.

Has anyone used the tiny plastic pellets in their sand table? What do you think of them? Do you like them better than sand?
Thanks

We are a Bilingual Early Learning School and Kindergarten, offering children English lessons with native speakers and teachers.
We have a Scientific Research Team, who study how bilingualism can have an effect on children’s development.
We are glad to invite you to join our Free* Training Programme for The Bilingual System of Education for Teachers.
On completion, it gives you a priority over other applicants to work as an English teacher in MILC, and also the opportunity to work with our licensed partners.
Requirements:
-Citizenship: USA, UK, Canada.
-Age: from 18 to 45 years.
-Higher Education in Humanities (Education, Psychology).
-Experience of working with children and a desire to work with children is necessary.
-TESL/TEFL certificate.
The knowledge that the teacher will receive in training includes:
- the psycholinguistic aspects of teaching children: language phenomena (e.g. interference and their types);
- the individual characteristics of pre-school age children;
- learning the communicative methods according to Transactional Analysis (Eric Berne);
- the ways of communicating with children as referred to in developmental psychology (according to BSE);
- the levels of bilingual education;
- the methods, tools and special didactics used in The Bilingual System of Education (BSE).
Training will take place over two weeks. This will consist of two sections: theory and practice. The theory section will involve basic knowledge in the field of education and psychology of preschool age children. Also, the Bill of Rights of the Child, and the developmental stages of children at each age.
The first week (days 1 to 7) will include theoretical training plus observation, lesson planning for the following week and a detailed discussion of the planning with an experienced member of staff.
The second week (days 8 to 10) will include teaching lessons that were planned in the previous week, a discussion with an experienced member of staff regarding the lessons, plus participation in general day to day activities On day 11 there will be a test of knowledge gained about the theory of teaching and an interview. Followed by day 12, which will include the results from the previous day. After this a certificate will be issued, regarding the completion of this training in the bilingual system of education. The certificate will specify an overall grade on which the training was accomplished.
The Advantages of our Programme
1. Our programme is unique, being the only one in the Russian Federation that has a method for teaching pre-school children English as a second language. This programme will explain and train teachers how to use The Bilingual System of Education, making the teachers unique in understanding this system and being able to teach according to this.
2. The programme enables teachers to describe proficiently the features of each developmental stage of children up to school age, and also the psycholinguistic aspects of teaching pre-school English to non-native speakers. This programme also explains the main methods for teaching pre- school children and the tools in which to do so.
This is all possible, because our supervisors of the programme are all specialists in their own fields, being psycholinguists, teachers, methodologists and psychologists.
3. Our programme makes unique teachers. With the information gained teachers will appeal more toemployers and other companies, due to being a teacher in the unique field of The Bilingual System of Education.
* ticket, visa and accommodation are not included (our school provides an invitation letter for visa)
