COOKING IT UP IN KINDERGARTEN - LET'S STIR THE POT

INSTRUCTOR(S): Debbie Rosera, Coolidge Elementary
GRADE LEVEL: Pre K-Kindergarten
 

Bam! If you give a Kindergartner the "Write Stuff," they'll ask for more!  Sing, Write, Read, and Learn like 5 and 6 year olds do!  Participants will learn ten essential practices and related strategies that will develop students as learners, readers, writers, mathematicians, and scientists.  This class will weave curricular areas that are age appropriate.  Reflection and assessment tools will be addressed to evaluate the effectiveness of current Early Childhood classrooms and practices.  This will address the journey - not the race that 5 and 6 year olds need to be proficient readers and writers in all areas of the Kindergarten program.

Participants in this course will use "Make and Take" centers, science projects, Musical Bog Books and interactive charts, games and songs.  No previous experience needed!  Inquiring minds and dedicated, passionate teachers are required!

Please be prepared to bring Make and Take supplies (poster board, construction paper and other necessary book making supplies).  Participants will travel to a teacher store.  Bring your humor and a camera to make the most of this class.  Participants will leave with a variety of ready to use ideas and strategies that will improve Early Childhood classrooms.
