Thanks for your comment. It gives me encouragement to add more stuff to the site. I haven’t posted to this blog in a while but I have another blog that is all about art, progressive art, that I call educational art that would be very helpful for you. http://www.educationalartsandcrafts.com/blog.
If you tell me specific things you would like, I can add that stuff to this blog as well.

Comment on Daily Calendar Time during circle time by Sherry Bolen

I like the conceptst that you suggest teaching during “calendar time”. I am a family child care provider and preschool teacher and I have struggled with the idea of having calendar time during our morning routine beacuse the preschoolers have such a limited concept of what it means. However, I like incorporating patterns and number recognition and the other ideas you suggest instead of just rote memorization of days and months. Thank you!

These are all good ideas too, but I am an assistant/afternoon p/t teacher, and I don’t know the regular curriculum/schedule of the teacher during the day. If I ask her about what the children did before I came, do I try to copy/enhance/add to/repeat for reinforcement/ or what would you suggest? Perhaps just to do other things so the children aren’t bored or other wise not wanting to do the same thing even in a slightly different way.

Comment on Disciplining Preschoolers/Tips on how to interact with young children by cheryl marceau

I found the information/tips on classroom discipline better from July 31 than August 26th. Although I already knew some of them it is a good reminder and to learn others. I look for ways to keep order and what to say or do when a child is disruptive or wants to run around the room instead of picking up his mess; or if a child puts something on the floor instead of on the shelf, etc.

[...] The problem is that we have such an obsession with tests and test scores that we don’t start young enough preparing our children for a life of creativity that is vital in today’s society. [...]
