I teach preschool. A parent has just given me a copy of "oh the places you'll go" that she would like me to write an inspirational message to her son in. I suck at writing & need some ideas!!
Hello-
I have a wonderful opportunity this summer. I get to paint my classroom whatever color I want! What color would you paint if given the choice?
Hi, I participated in this before about 5 years ago and my students loved it. We enjoyed getting mail and it was fun to learn about the states. Let me know if you do this or plan to do one. Thanks! Jessica
How do you deal with children who have tantrums? I have several children in my 4 year old class who have prolonged screaming tantrums when they are asked to clean up, transition to another activity, or get in disagreements over sharing with peers. These tantrums go on for a half hour or more. I feel like I am losing my mind.

Hi! Does anyone know of a less expensive alternative to Jonti- craft tubs and lids? That's what fits my classroom shelves and cabinets perfectly, but they are so expensive. I tried to see what an order of 20 tubs with lids cost and it's over $200.
Hi all! So I was excited to get a call from a principal I know about coming in for a pre-k interview TOMORROW! What should I be expecting in terms of questions? Also, if by chance they ask me to teach a mock lesson (don't think they will but...) what should I do for that age/grade level? Thanks everyone... a little nervous.

I found a nice monthly behavior calendar idea that I am going to use this coming year for daily communication with the parents. The bottom of the calendars has numbers with statements, such as I had an excellent day, I can be a good listener, I can be a good friend, I can follow directions, etc. So, depending on the day each child had I will put a ...See MoreI found a nice monthly behavior calendar idea that I am going to use this coming year for daily communication with the parents. The bottom of the calendars has numbers with statements, such as I had an excellent day, I can be a good listener, I can be a good friend, I can follow directions, etc. So, depending on the day each child had I will put a number in the days box. I am looking for help on coming up with a parent note. I wondering how to word it so that they understand if their child's box was marked with I can be a good listener that they had a difficult day listening and will work on being a better one tomorrow...Any suggestions...I'm trying to do something simple and to the point, but having a hard time not being too wordy...

With a little examination I realized this was probably where I would get my answers. I am a second year 3 year old teacher in a Christian academy. Last year I was totally unprepared for the class. I am 67 years old and though I have taught in church, piano lessons, choirs, home schooled my three children several years, I do not have a degree. I was asked to do this class because of my experience and yet nothing prepared me for the challenge. One of the many questions concerns whether parents should be allowed in the classroom. The K-4 teacher has been teaching 35+ years and her style is very effective. She handles these children very well and they know from the beginning that she loves them but that they are NOT in charge in her classroom. She does not allow parents to enter her room and the reason is that she feels that is confusing to children. She wants them to understand that SHE is in control of all that goes on in that room. I have a different personality. I am a people person and enjoyed my parents almost more than my students last year, keeping them informed by way of pictures and videos that I posted on Facebook.(I did get permission from each one before doing that.) To me, not allowing the parents access to the room, especially with three year olds, seems questionable. When I think back about how many times I was distracted by the parents last year, I realize that I would have been much more effective if I had only dealt with the children from the beginning of the day. I would certainly appreciate discussion of the pros and cons of this situation. Thank you!
Does anyone know where I could purchase PLASTIC Christmas tree ornament balls (preferably blue) to make the snowman handprint Christmas ornaments? I have searched and searched without any luck. They are about baseball size for the kids to grasp to make the snowmen. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
