Great tools here! I'm a preschool teacher and these will be a lifesaver. We do yoga already and it is amazing how it helps them calm themselves. Great post!

Please do!

Thanks!

I'm glad you know what I mean. With the folks here on Steemit from other third world countries doing so much for their poverty stricken communities, I felt like a brat complaining about dirt roads. But

Yup! We even do this in the younger grades. Making that real world connection is so important for making the learning MEAN something. That presentation sounds awesome, too!

Oooo....what is this monster thingy? Thanks for the info. I must pursue ... after coffee.

As a mom of two teens, how you describe your students' end of year motivation is spot on. They are sooo done! Your media project sounds like the learning thru play days of preschool that sounds so engaging.

I agree with waiting for the grammar teaching as well. Good post!

Great post! I love those rocks and the ideas. Just like learning to walk, learning to write is such a physical process (not just for letter recognition) and I am always telling parents there is a purpose

Here's a fun photo...I spelled her name on the strips and mixed them up. She was able to recognize her name, so then she realized it was red & white, too, when she got to TWO letter n's. She didn't

I'm glad it gave you some confidence. Totally love your rhyming game, too! The most important thing about teaching the wee ones is making it fun through play! For patterns in my classroom, my builders

Yes, I did say there was a range, but I think I lost that idea along the way. Kids certainly do learn at different speeds. The good thing is if you know these milestones, and a child isn't grasping it,

There are millions of Americans who object to what the President is doing. It is like we are helpless with his lies and deceit. I saw what is happening in Bangladesh on our news here in America, but it
