- From teacher to teacher, here is your guide to Pre-K
- Good morning Miss Olivia!
- Good morning kids, let's have a great day!
- Always greet your students as they enter the building. Start the day on a positive note.
- Miss Olivia, what is wrong with David?
- He seems upset about his locker. Ask your friend if he needs help.
- Using the word "friend" sounds silly as an adult. But we use it in the classroom in reference to other students to promote friendship and positive peer relationships.
- MISS OLIVIA'S CLASS
- "Eyes are watching, ears are listening, voices quiet, bodies calm. This is how we listen. This is how we listen. At circle time. At circle time. "
- CIRLCE TIME
- Okay everyone, Let's sing our listening song!
- Singing the listening song before circle time allows the students to understand that it's time to sit and listen to their teacher. Circle time involves instruction, so students have to be attentive.
- Miss Olivia's class! Use your walking feet please. We do not want to hurt our friends by running into them.
- Using the term "walking feet" lets our students know when and where it is not okay to run. "walking feet" is easy for students to understand and visualize.
- Alright class. Now it is time to smell the flowers and blow out the candle!
- Everyone line up in front of your locker before we go inside. Miss Olivia needs to count our friends and make sure we are all here.
- Smell the flowers, blow out the candle instructions:
- First we breathe in with our nose.(smell the flowers)
- Then we breathe out through our mouths.(blow out the candle)
- By doing this we give students time to settle down and take deep breaths after coming inside from recess.
- David, do you need to go to the calm down area before we walk to lunch? You are upsetting your friends.
- Okay class, One, Two, Three, Eyes on Me!
- In the calm down area, students are given time to relax and recoup their emotions. This is apart of our social/emotional training as teachers.
- In Pre-K, we must have a designated "calm down area" for our students to go when they are frustrated or overstimulated.
- Everyone! Catch a bubble while you walk to lunch.
- We encourage students to raise their hands as a form of communication. It teaches patience and manners. It's also inclusive to non-verbal students.
- Can I go to the bathroom?
- We ask our students to "catch a bubble" when we want them to be quiet. Students will puff our their cheeks as if there is a bubble inside. This ensures they won't open their mouth to talk, or else their bubble will fly out! Being quiet in the hallway is important in managing your class.
- I hope this glimpse of Pre-k helps you in your future classroom. Use the tools and language I have provided and you will be good to go! Good Luck, Miss Olivia.
