      Yes I do! We use TSG as well! We recently received a new curriculum this year ( McGraw Hill) and I do use it as a resource. We are not required to use it but instead to teach to the standards. It has some great ideas but still needs that bit of teacher creativity!

    Quick question: did you have to take a teachers licensing exam to teach preschool? I’m currently studying human learning and development in the college of education at my university & I’m working on earning an Illinois early childhood level 5 certificate (which is just a certification that shows that I have class experience and supervised fieldwork experience working with children aged 1-7). I’ve heard that some people didn’t need a teachers license while others did.

    For parents wanting to help prep kiddos for pre-k what do you suggest? I see all of these books for pre-k age at places like Target. Are those good for prep or are those for while they are in school? Thank you!

    • @Kristen_Lankford
      @Kristen_Lankford  Před 3 lety +1

      Those are good if your kid is willing to sit and do it! All kids learn differently, my personal children LOVE workbooks 😆
      I’d recommend learning through play moths most. Focus on your kids name a lot! Make sure they can recognize it, practice spelling it orally and then building it with magnets. If they are interested you can begin writing it with them too! At this age it’s all about exposure because they are little sponges!

    My son will start pre-k next week and he is 3 and I am nervous he is going to panic and have an anxiety attack. He is like that with new people and he will need to take the bus so nervous. I am scared really since he is not really advanced in speaking. He does more hand gestures then speaking and I’m scared that he will be scared. How do you normally deal with first day of school with little ones

    • @Kristen_Lankford
      @Kristen_Lankford  Před 3 lety +1

      I know it is so hard for you to put your little one on a bus and watch them drive away! The best thing for him to expand his language is to be in a preschool setting! We have many kiddos who come in nervous and scared but once they understand the schedule and begin to feel the love (and fun) they LOVE school! You got this!
