Editor's Notes
- Salary of a pre-school teacher: $32,500 Median annual wages of preschool teachers were $23,870 in May 2008; the middle 50 percent earned $18,840 to $31,430; the bottom 10 percent earned less than $16,030 and the top 10 percent earned more than $41,660. Employment 2008: 457,200 Projected employment 2018: 543,900
- Salary of a first grade teacher: $53,650 Median annual wages of kindergarten, elementary, middle, and secondary school teachers ranged from $47,100 to $51,180 in May 2008; the lowest 10 percent earned $30,970 to $34,280; the top 10 percent earned $75,190 to $80,970. Employment of first grade teachers 2008: 1,549,500 Projected Employment 2018: 1,793,700
- Should also have some sort of experience with young children such as working at a day care, working with kids doing student teaching, e.t.c
- Many teachers decide not to obtain their masters at first and wait until after they have a job. Many school districts rather employ someone with less schooling (meaning they can pay them less money)
- Physical: Physical changes of body and brain Cognitive: Changes in reasoning, concepts, memory and language Social-emotional: Changes in emotion, motivation, how one views them self, moral reasoning, and behavior
- kids of this age love to do things like play “pretend,” dress up, build forts and clubhouses.
- Communication develops by them learning things like please and thank you, I put my socks on before my shoes, can I have more milk rather than just pointing and instead of saying “want toy” or “toy want” say I want my toy.
- Pre-school is very different from elementary, middle and high school in that it incorporates a lot of play time and exploration time rather than desk time. Remember how much fun it was. Instead of tests we had puppet shows and sang songs The curriculum was revised to do three main things: Infusion of play Higher level thinking and reasoning skills True continuum from infant through kindergarten Preschool = 3 and 4 year olds Kindergarten = 5 year olds However, on some occasions if a 5 year old is not ready yet for kindergarten they can remain in pre-school for another year
- Approaches to Learning through Play: Constructing, Organizing and Applying Knowledge Creative Thinking and Expression: Communicating Through the Arts Language and Literacy Development: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening Mathematical Thinking and Expression: Exploring, Processing and Problem Solving
- Health, Wellness and Physical Development: Learning About My Body Partnerships for Learning: Families, Learning Environments and Communities Social Studies Thinking: Connecting to Communities Social Emotional Development: Learning About Myself and Others
- Big idea: Statements that describe concepts for all students at each grade level Provide focus on specific content for all students Concepts: Describe what students should be able to do/ key skills Essential Questions: Specifically linked to the big ideas Frame student inquiry Promote critical thinking Examples: Performance tasks (sample activities) Can be used for assessment & instruction Provide educators with concrete example of assessing student’s understanding of the big ideas, concepts and competencies
- Numbers: Children learn about numbers by counting objects and discussing the results. &quot;You gave Chris six goldfish crackers. How many does Susie need?&quot; Children count spaces on board games. They count the days until their birthdays. The teacher might say, &quot;Yesterday there were twelve days until your birthday. How many days are there now?&quot; Preschoolers read counting books and recite nursery rhymes with numbers. Geometry and spatial relations: Children practice constructing shapes and discussing their properties. They see skinny triangles and fat triangles and upside-down triangles and gradually realize that they are all still triangles. Measurement: Children compare the height of a block tower with the height of a desk or table. They measure each other and the distance from the kitchen corner to the water table. They learn that this block is too short to make a bridge over the road. Teachers reinforce children&apos;s findings by asking questions and making observations: &quot;I wonder if this block is long enough to bridge the road. Let&apos;s try it.&quot; Patterns/geometry: Children become aware of patterns in their clothes. They learn to recognize patterns of different colors and sizes in beads and blocks. They practice reproducing simple patterns by stringing beads and copying designs with colored blocks. Analyzing data: Children sort objects by color, size and shape, count them, and record the data on graphs and charts. These charts might reflect the class pet&apos;s growth, the number of rainy days in February, how many bean plants have sprouted, or the number of children with a birthday in March.
- Examples of good things for classrooms are areas like kitchen or home areas, dress up clothes, small play structures, tables and chairs, a rug for whole class discussions/lessons e.t.c and comfy area for reading books Out door areas are great when they have large play structures, swings and slides (things you would think of on a playground), somewhere to draw with chalk or ride scooters and bikes, and a sand box
- Children this age begin to compare themselves to others, gain sense of what is expected of them, understand importance of rules, and perfect motor skills *note didn’t say anything about the class room because this age is much more academic and uses a lot of desk time and much less play time Play time/ recess is very important for getting rid of excess energy and to build on cooperation and friendship skills
- Addition, subtraction and is equal to along with words associated such as add, subtract, plus, minus, e.t.c Greater than, less than, equal to and words associated Counting from one to one hundred.. Also includes skip counting by 2s and 5s How to make change, how much each coin is worth, how to use less amount of coins to pay for things Quarter of, quarter after, half past, which hand is hour, minute and second,
- Consonant blends are things like ch-, br-, cl- Basic Punctuation period, comma, exclamation point, question mark, capitalizing first letters of sentences
- Different sections of the room, for example, like a carpet maybe a large table to work in groups, different areas with pillows to sit on places to sit and read or color Environment should stimulate curiosity and initiative and give opportunity for adult-student interaction Organized to support areas of development Safe comfortable atmosphere Room for quiet activities
- Pre-school, for example has a lot of play time and on-their-own learning The more teaching aspect is mostly either categorized into reading and math during this age group First grade’s teaching aspect is science, math, reading, and social studies; however my presentation is focusing on math and reading The way a teacher presents material is one of the most challenging parts of teaching. Obviously not every child enjoys every subject but at least making the experience more pleasant guarantees better results. Keep in mind, there is a curriculum to follow: however, a different spin like picture examples, games and using props or even students keeps helpful interaction
- (goals/objectives) (mile markers along the way) (what have they learned; what do I need to re-teach) (how am I doing as learner; do simple task to show what learned)
- What are your goals?What do you expect students to be able to do by the end ofthis lesson? What is the criteria to determine a satisfactory achievement of the material learned?How will students demonstrate that they have learned andunderstood the objectives of the lesson? How did your students like the lesson?What level of learning is covered by this lesson plan? (ex: knowledge, comprehension,application, analysis, synthesis, or evaluation.)How will you introduce the ideas of the lesson?How can this material be presented to meet the different styles of the kids?How you will bring the ideas together at the end of the lesson?
- 1989- Tim Berners-Lee invents World Wide Web 1990- Texas Instruments creates the TI-81 graphing calculator; Power Point for Windows launched; the first search engine; whiteboards begin to replace chalkboards 2001- SMART boards begin to arise in schools 2002- Apple releases 3rd generation iMac (with built in microphone) which students can record lectures and organize notes better; instillation of security cameras in high schools

- Over the last 15 years, American school spending on technology has increased to $5 billion Some surveys, within the past 10 years, suggest that fewer than 20% of teachers use technology several times a week, and up to half of all teachers didn&apos;t use technology at all Organizations like Edutopia, the North Central Educational Lab (NCREL) and the Center for Applied Research in Educational Technology (CARET) do research to prove technology increases academic achievement
- With pre-schoolers monitoring is most times not as big an issue because their computer skills are generally limited These risks would best fit with first grade Remember: kids are learning earlier and earlier how to use computers and even in first grade, sometimes know how to do things as “complicated” as power point presentations
- Many teachers concerned that using games as a teaching tool will only cause distraction There are also many games designed to help students with learning difficulties Increase participation Encourage students to experiment Help in understanding of different perspectives Improve language skills.
