I'll be a new Kindergarten (we call them Infants at our school) teacher in September of this year, 2024. I'm enjoying learning from you. Thanks for your very helpful videos. 😊
Thanks for watching! I hope you have a great year!
Great instructive video. I can tell that you're an awesome Kinder-teacher. Keep up the great work. 😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much 🤗
I really loved this video, but are 5 years really gonna sit and engage in this conversation for that long when you explain it
It's all in how you present it. 5-year olds definitely don't have a long attention span, but with active modeling and demonstrating you can definitely set expectations for your calm corner. Visuals help, too!
The marble in the netting is my favorite quiet fidget.
Thanks for the tip. I have always done the 10+ class jobs and like you said, I also never kept up with it. By December the only jobs that got different people were the Line Leader, Door Holder and Supply manager. I am so ready to give this tip a try!!! I will let you know how it works out.
Yes! It dwindles down to only the most important jobs. I hope using a helper of the day works well for you!!
Love this! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I appreciated this post, I'll be adopting these!
Thanks for watching!
Will you please share the "on the first day of school paper"? Thank you!
Sure! You can grab it here: teachingexceptionalkinders.com/free-first-week-of-school-pack
This is great instruction! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I just wanted to say I have only watched 2 videos of yours and I am already learning so much! Thank you!
Hi Caroline! Thanks so much for watching along! I'm happy to help. If you're not already on our email list, you'll want to be sure to join us so you don't miss some upcoming announcements about workshop opportunities! teachingexceptionalkinders.com/free-first-week-of-school-pack
Amy this was great! Please do more videos like this!
Thanks so much! I have a few more workshops on my to-do list! :)
Agreed! Most instances you let it go, new day. You weren’t there. Just had a teammate asking me if she should address this and I said no, start the day on the positive and fresh and happy to see your class. Subbing is hard and it’s always different when the teachers gone. I always leave suckers for sub to hand out to kiddos and stickers.
Thanks for watching! Yes, subbing is so hard! I used to leave treats for the sub to give students, too.
This is wonderful!!! I've been struggling this year with behaviors, can't wait to try these when we get back to school after spring break.
Glad it was helpful!
I really enjoy your tutorial . 😊
Thank you! 😊
I was moved to kindergarten this year from from another grade level.I have a student that I have had for 5 months that hits, kicks, rips at my clothes, spits and bites me. He was coming at me repeatedly to attack me. His behavior has gotten somewhat better, and this only happens a few times a day and it’s less violent, but it has made me very sad and I feel like I have lost myself. I’m not enjoying teaching. Is this normal for me to feel this way?
I'm so sorry to hear you're dealing with this. Unfortunately, in my experience this is all too "normal". I wish it weren't the norm, but all too often teachers (myself included) are dealing with major behavior disruptions. Hopefully you are able to get admin to help you to get your student the support he needs, soon.
Hi Amy , I love your videos! I'm a homeschool teacher and every since I found you over the summer I have used some many of your products. They have helped me be a better teacher. :)
That's awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the useful information.
Thanks for watching!
I remember the book from Spiders from Reading Explores.
I remember this book from KVPT Reading Explores along with Stellaluna and Seed Sprout Pumpkin Pie.
❤❤❤first subscriber here.. i found your channel so exciting ... ❤❤❤ from Philippines
I’d love to check this resource out on TPT, but I don’t see any links in the description.
Thanks so much for letting me know! I just added the links. Here's the TPT link: teachingexceptionalkinders.com/waystosit
Hi! I am a para who is completely new to kindergarten. Tomorrow is day 1, so I am a excited and a bit nervous. Thank you for this helpful advice, although it is aimed at helping teachers. I got an idea of what to expect 😊.
Best wishes for a great year!
Good job
Thank you! New to K and your videos are so well done!! So happy I found you!
Thanks for being here! Hope you have a great year!
Thank you ma’am! You are a blessing ❤❤
You're welcome - I am so glad this helped you!
Thank you so much. You are a life saver. I’ve been teaching for 3 years in preschool; however, it’s my first time teaching kindergarten. I thought I would be lost, but thanks to you, I feel better ❤❤
You're so welcome! I am happy yo help. I hope you have the best year in kindergarten!
Wow Im loving your videos! Thank you for these tips. Ill be setting up a Cozy Corner or Vacay Space soon!
Love how this also helps the teacher remember to focus on one goal at a time, I need the reminder too!
I find going over the routine for getting ready for lunch in detail is so helpful. Bathroom, wash hands, get lunch box or whatever your routine would be. This also becomes the bathroom/wash hands routine for any time students use the bathroom during the day. Once the school year gets rolling, I want to be able to tell students to get ready for lunch and then keep on teaching with minimal disruption. They get it done and get right back to work or group, etc.
Great tip!!
Love it but all these resources, hope I can find them. Thank you
Hi there! You can find most of the links here in this blog post: teachingexceptionalkinders.com/2021/05/morning-work-ideas-for-kindergarten Hope that helps! Amy
This is great! Does the token chart start over each day? Meaning if they only got 3 out of five starts a day- do they carry over or do you start fresh the following school day?
Absolutely - start fresh each day. Every day is a new opportunity :) Sometimes carrying over the 3 stars from the day before brings back negative feelings that they "failed" the day before. Starting fresh with a clean slate sends the signal that each day is a new chance to have a great day.
Thank you for making this video! For your whole class incentive system, did you have two separate ones, one for AM and one for PM or were both classes adding pieces to the same one?
Yes, I would keep 2 separate charts, one for AM and one for PM. That way each class was working towards their own reward.
How long do students stay in Hawaii? How long is the sand timer? Thank you! I am a new subbie! 😊
Hi Kelly - The timing is totally up to you and how long you think your students will need for their break. I had a set of sand timers with 1, 3, and 5 minutes. Usually, I put the 3 minute timer in there because in half day kindergarten, we didn't have a lot of time to spend in Hawaii.
lol...love it. And we will be going to Jamaica..lol. That makes so much sense, I never thought of that and its true, I hate when people tell me to calm down. It doesn't really help with my calming down process, so I know that it doesn't work for rhe children either. This was great advice and I am do glad I came across your page.
Jamaica sounds wonderful!
What a great end of year idea! Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching :)
Hi, this is really good information. This video provided a lot of value. Thanks for sharing with the community.
Nice observation. (1) Consistent (2) Clear (3) Ready to go (4) Use every day... Good job!
Thanks! 😃
Great video!!!...I like your style...Keep up the wonderful job...I just subscribed👍😀
Thank you so much!!
I’m trying to gauge if my child is ready for kindergarten or not. This is very helpful! I’m a pro homework parent but I understand your reasons for not being pro homework. Maybe I’ll ease up a little 😅
It's hard to know if you child is ready for kindergarten - but you'll never regret giving them the gift of extra time to be a kid! There is definitely a time and a place for homework, but kids need to be kids, too 😀
@@teachingexceptionalkinders ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the ideas!
Glad you like them!
Thank you! How many minutes do you allow for morning tubs? thx
Most mornings we did 10 - 15 minutes. :)
Thank you ❤ this year my first year teaching Kindergarten class ,but it is full day.
Have a great year!!
Thank you!!!!! Last year was my first year in AM -PM and I still feel like I need more organizational ideas to help this year go even smoother
You're welcome! 1/2 day is a whole different animal!
🙏🤲❤
❤️
Your videos are very clear and concise😁
I am getting rid of morning work worksheets this year and am doing morning tubs in fourth grade! I was researching more ideas when your video popped up on IG.
Small world! Your fourth graders will love morning tubs and some will remember them from kindergarten :)
I completely agree with you on the renaming strategy. Ours is the Cozy Corner and the kids love it!
Great idea - I'm glad the kids love it! :)
Good job! Thank you!
Would you mind sharing the youtube video you used to show how to cut?
I like this song from Heidi's Songs ruclips.net/video/-Qwi0l29ppY/видео.html
This is great! Thank you! I'm curious as to whether or not you TELL kids to go to Hawaii or if it's just a spot where they self-identify the need to go there? I could potentially see saying something like, "Oh, you seem tired/frustrated/disappointed... now might be a good time for you to spend some time in Hawaii!" If the student refuses, then you move on... it's not a punishment, it's not a consequence... it's a tool. Then maybe coming back to it with the student who refuses... having a quiet conversation with them about why you suggested it? Maybe? I so appreciate your work Amy!
As long as you're not sending them to Hawaii as a punishment, I don't see any harm in suggesting it. I like to frame things like this, "Your behavior choices (you could be more specific) are showing/telling me that you may be ___(tired, frustrated, etc.), maybe spending time in Hawaii could help?"
