Hello All,
I hope this is a perfect time to invite more people to join our
Kindergarten Literacy
Workshop listserv.
I have embedded the url to the new Kindergarten group created by
LiteracyWorkshop.org into this email
for any of you who would like to continue the thread about the benefits
of all day K
and/or the benefits of teaching literacy to our students by teaching key
comprehension strategies.
Please join us on the Kindergarten list as we spend time sharing the
knowledge
of how our students learn and how we can better enhance their education
to by
teaching specific strategy instruction in an effort to grow proficient
readers and
writers at the K level.

All day K is mandatory now in Maryland. What it did for us was give us
the time to teach comprehension strategies through read alouds each
and every day. I was sold on the value of it when I walked into an
all day K classroom our first year (about three years ago) and having
a student ask me "Do you have much schema for turtles?"
Done right, there is a lot that we can do with comprehension in all
day K.

But what I wanted to say is, the difference I see between my half day
and all day experiences is that the pressure is off. I felt that I
had to cram in everything the all day K students were getting in a
half day before. Now we all feel much more relaxed and it is
reflected in their behavior and their learning. I hope that doesn't
result in more curriculum being pushed down. But for now, even with
28, things are good.
