K is very different
By Jaime

Hi! I went to K from 3rd. I think I may end up back in third though.
They can not cut the first day of school. I taught cutting around October, and we practiced a LOT. We practiced cutting play dough (made it into a snake,
then cut).
They can certainly color! We did a lot of that the first month of school.
A typical K Day: A LOT of movement! Dont keep them on the rug too long. We do a lesosn, then get up, play simon says, go for a walk, stretch..I have all of the Greg and Steve CDs so I play music and let them freezedance..then go back to work.
I teach guided reading and a word and letter a

week.
MUST HAVES: MANIPULATIVES! Walmart beacme my best friend.
PLAY DOUGH! Again, walmart becamse my best friend.
BABY WIPES! Put it on your spply list for the kids to bring in.
And a great classroom library!
Let me know if you have anything else in terms of questions or comments!
