And to this wonderful note I would add... read the classic fairy tales and children's stories -- so many of our children come to school never having heard The Three Little Kittens, or Goldilocks.? How sad!

Make them want it bad. Teach them to share, play nice and think deeply. Don't turn it into kindergarten--they have so little time to be children these days. Sing and dance. Explore. Read to them--lots. Play blocks, dress-up and pretend--we see so many coming to school who don't seem to know how to be fanciful and imaginative.

My question is directed toward Kindergarten teachers however all teaching levels are welcome to respond. My question is : What can I do as a teacher in a pre-k classroom to help prepare the children for the literacy expectations that occur in kindergarten. With the push down of curriculm so much more is expected of kindergarteners and I want to do all that I can to ensure their success in kindergarten. > ? > Mary Jo > > > > _______________________________________________ > Mosaic mailing list > Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org > To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to > http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org. > > Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive. > > _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
