When a student comes in for the day, he or she takes time to sign their name in a sign-in book or clipboard. It is a way for children to practice writing their names each day.
Sounds good right?? Here is why we don’t use sign-in books in our preschool classroom.
Schedules are an important way of life. They keep us in a routine and get us to the places we need to be. In a preschool classroom, a schedule is the backbone to our day. It helps us get all the things done that we wanted to accomplish. While I had my written schedule hanging up in the room, I found that many of my students were asking 'what do we do next?'. So, I knew it was time to create a visual schedule for my little non-readers!
Tell me something... do you happen to struggle with making meaningful home and school connections?
A positive connection between school and families is an integral part of the success of students in the classroom. It is important for us to try and educate parents on the needs of their preschool aged children. When parents and educators are on the same page, a child's success can soar.
