Last week was Kindergarten Roundup. As the special education teacher, this is the first time I was present in that capacity. I have been there for my own kids as a parent.
My principal was sick. So, that whole morning was mine. He had a presentation ready for the information regarding our school and the forms that needed to be filled out.
I had been asked to create a presentation on Kindergarten Readiness. First, I thought, what an overwhelming task! Then, I did a little googling. The task was much easier once I found a GREAT book -- The Kindergarten Readiness Guide by Jaclyn Anne Brower. You can find some of her ideas at www.kindergartenreadiness.net.
Check it out!
Thanks for the link. Early childhood education is so fascinating to me as a high school teacher and as someone thinking about starting a family in the near future. It fascinates me how these formative years and getting ready for kindergarten are so impacting on students' success through out their lives.
ReplyDeleteI have passed this on to our Bright Beginnings and Kindergarten teachers so that they can get some tips from it as well. Great idea for teachers and parents.
