    Hi 🙂 I am doing the book study I found on pre-k pages. Is this blog apart of pre-k pages? If so, where does the blog begin? Thanks!

      Hi Joy, No this blog is not part of Pre-K Pages. Vanessa Levin owns Pre-K Pages and I own PreKinders. We just work together with other blogs like Teach Preschool, Fun a Day, and Kathy Griffin to bring you this book study. Just follow this guide for all the links to each blog post.

    From one Ga teacher to another, I look forward to all of your postings. I am a new headstart teacher, after teaching in pre-k thru 5 for 13 years. I am involved with a behavior class through our local RESA and am looking forward to participating in this one, also.
    Thank you so much for having the energy after a day with your little ones to share with us big ones!!

    Learning best what we need to know is sometimes a process we have to generate. Look forward to it! Thanks for the input.

    We use a set of rules in the classroom that the children learn and helps keep them in a respectful environment that is safe and loving. We also use a Kindness Jar that encourages children to share and learn how to work as a team.

    This is a very timely resource for me. I’ve been a Pre-K teacher for over 30 years with a BA degree in Child Development. Last school year, there was a child in my classroom with challenging behaviors and I tried many ideas from my “tool box” to manage his behavior. For the first time teaching, I had to ask his family to withdraw from our school because I was afraid for the safety of the other children. I feel like I failed as a teacher and ultimately, he had the control to change his behavior, not me.
