First Job..................Kindergarten?We Answered:
I have been teaching kindergarten for two years and it's the best job. What do you need to bring to school everyday? That's easy a positive attitude, patience and a smile.Be prepared to get active and be creative and the kids will love it. Remember the attention span is short so you want to keep them moving.
As for parents guess what they are just people who love their children, keep that in mind when you talk to them and you should be fine. Know your curriculum so that you can answer questions intelligently.
But most of all remember to have FUN!! They have 12+ years of school ahead of them and making sure they walk into the classroom happy should be a priority.
Good Luck and don't be nervous it's the most fun I've had in my 18 years of teaching.

Was it legal to exclude my son from field trip due to his placement which is a result of his disabilities?We Answered:
So much of what you wrote is illegal (the things the school is doing). An aide is not suppose to be teaching sped programs to a student, the sped teacher is.And the only reason they are letting him go on the trip is because you are going, they don't want to deal with him. The idiots.
PLEASE go to this message board, it's the best on the internet for problems like this. They are VERY knowledgable and can help you every step of the way. You have grounds for suing them if you want, but there are other ways to get around it and make them treat him right.

Was it legal to exclude my son from a field trip due to his placement because of his disabilities?We Answered:
I say go to the school and raise some hell. My fiance's mom works as a teacher's aid with a little boy who is disabled and the school wasn't even going to let him graduate with the rest of his kindergarten class. She raised holy hell about it until the school would allow it. A class trip to the petting zoo is most certainly something your little boy should have been included in. The screwed up reality is that society and the school system would rather ignore the disabled kids than include them because they're not like the other kids. As the mother of a disabled child, it's going to be harder for you to fight for the fair treatment of your son, but you need to fight tooth and nail for it. There's no reason at all that you son should be excluded from everything just because he isn't like the other kids. Since there's no way to "fix" the kids with disabilities, most people try to ignore them so they don't have to put forth the effort it takes to include them in things like field trips. He needs all the love and support you can give him and since he can't do it for himself, he needs you to stand up for him and demand that he be treated fairly. I understand excluding him from things that might be potentially harmful, but the petting zoo? A Memorial Day Program? Com on now...that's just mean. Even if he can't perform in the program, he should still be allowed to attend the practices so he can feel like he's part of it. By being excluded, he's going to get the idea that something's wrong with him and there's not...his disabilities are not his fault and he should not have to pay for being different. Take it straight to the school board if you have to and demand that he be included in the activities with the other kids. It's not right for them to not only exclude him but to not even let you know what's going on in the first place. My fiance says he thinks you should find an attorney and see if there's legal action that you can take. If your son isn't severely disabled (which, from your question, I'm assuming he isn't), then there's no reason at all that he should be excluded from the kindergarten class activities or trips. Like I said, raise holy hell about it...make them think the 4 horsemen of the apocolypse are bearing down on them.Clifton Said:
Help me with the theme (My body) teaching kindergarten children.?We Answered:
Begin with Mat Man who will teach not only body parts, but how many. This is also a great way to increase their ability to draw a person! (You do not actually have to buy the pieces. You can cut cardboard to the shapes. And the song is available on the internet.)Franklin Said:
Requirements for becoming a preschool or kindergarten teacher?We Answered:
It sounds like you are qualified to work as a preschool teacher, although it might depend on what credentials the program you apply to accepts. To teach Kindergarten, one must usually have a four year degree in Elementary Education and certification at this level. If you want to teach in the US, a good place to start might be to contact a university with an Education department and ask them to review your credentials and tell you what to do to become certified. You may need to take a few more classes. Or you could start with Preschool and attend a university to finish meeting the requirements for the El. Ed. certification.
