Pre-K Project

by Ciera

Sep 8, 2013

Hi everyone!

I'm a first year Pre-K teacher and I really want to do a project with my students for the end of the year. I know that's a bit away, but what I would like to do will take planning and time. I am wanting to have my student write and perform in their own music video. The theme will be an overview of what they learned this year (...See More

Leah Just some thoughts: Having preschoolers write and perform in their own music video sounds like quite an undertaking and frankly a bit stressful for everyone involved. What is the purpose of the video? Is it for parents and see at the end of the year? Will each parent receive a copy? I think you will have to get each parent's permission for their ch...See More

Karen Cox The past couple of years, I've made an end of year video of the kids singing (one year) and the next, I made a video of them answering "what is your favorite thing about Pre-K?"

As for the the technological part of it, I filmed it with an iPad, and edited and pieced the video clips together into one video using the imovie app.

cc I would say maybe some built in shelves. You can never have enough storage I say. If they could, two bathrooms are always better than one. I love that my classroom has two. We also have like a mini wall that creates a hallway on one side of the room that houses the cubbies. Keeps them out of the way. A sink with a drinking fountain preferably is al...See More

meeeha/ece/hi Aloha!

I agree with you -- the #1 request is restrooms in the classroom! A child-height sink is a good idea, as well -- toilets could be enclosed and a sink outside, between the two little rooms.

I always needed/used CLOSED storage areas where I could lock materials that are not accessible at the present time ... easier to keep ...See More

3 year old class teacher Thank you for your feedback,albeit a little rough and to the point. We are documenting and I,for one,am trying to include this new teacher in every activity. This is difficult not because of our female hormones but because this particular person is taking time out of the day to leave the classroom or playground and report to the director.

3 year old class teacher Upon thinking about it while planning for the week, I am leaving this chat board. I used it previously as a means of getting some excellent advice and also giving it, however the responses I received made we wonder if the responders were teachers or people with another agenda filled with anger of some sort. My last reply was laden with the attitude...See More
