Feb 20, 2013

Our new director applied for a quality improvement grant, which is pushing for the purchase of Creative Curriculum.

I would like to hear from others that have used it, how you liked/didn't like it, why-- and how much training should be given to make sure it is used correctly?

I am concerned with how much time we will need to spe...See More

what to teach next?

by Claire

Feb 22, 2013

I have a few children who head to Kindergarten next year who seem bored. They know letters, can count, know colors, shapes... They seem to need something to do during centers. I have learning material (upper to lower case letter match, rhyming match, etc)out at centers but they are not interested in it. What do I do with them?

pksped They know letter names-what about letter sounds? Assuming they do, my next step would be some beginning sight words. Check with your kindergarten and use the most basic, concrete words on that list. I do a lot with color words (because they're so concrete, and then they can read books that I've made with simple stickers like, "I see the brown bear....See More

Karen PK GA You could do syllables, oral blending, and you might try them with some CVC words to see if they are ready for that.

With syllables, have them clap the words and tap the words with rhythm sticks or castanets. You can have them sort photos of their classmates by the # of syllables in their names.

With oral blending, I hold up my ...See More

Do you all think Obama will really get universal preschool going? When do you think he will start trying to work toward this goal?

I think the momentum is going to come from the individual states and even down to the district level. That is what is happening here. Our state had full day K provided ...See More

New Follow-Up To Twitter Story

by Samuel_JS

Feb 26, 2013

For those who read my two previous posts about my experience in being terminated from my Pre-K job due to Twitter accounts that were created in my name by an impersonator, thank you to those who have responded. Here is an update, and I swear I am not making this up. It has turned into a nightmare:

caring former director Samuel, I can even begin to imagine what this means to you. This is such an ugly situation that I am like you - what can be said. You are right. You are living a nightmare. Do you have options at this point? Is this a small town? Even if you lived there and worked in another community, I am afraid that this would follow you wherever you go.

Thank You for the "Twitter Story" Responses

by Samuel_JS

Mar 2, 2013

I had previously posted in four different threads about my experience in being terminated from my Pre-K position due to a series of impersonated Twitter accounts. Then I was subsequently exiled from my home district, the school/church, and the surrounding community.

I just wanted everyone who replied to know that I read all of your replies...See More

DAP textbook question

by pksped

Mar 9, 2013

What is the difference between Gestwicki's DAP textbook and Copple's DAP textbook? I am not in college looking for the right book for the class; I want the right book for me. I'm in no huge hurry; nothing will make me pay Amazon's crazy current university textbook prices! Thanks.
