Kindergarten Teachers Flock to Teachers.Net Center
SAN DIEGO, CA--Kindergarten teachers everywhere have learned that the Teachers.Net Kindergarten Center is the place to connect with colleagues, gather teaching tips and classroom management ideas, access kindergarten lesson plans, recipes, crafts, and connect with enthusiastic collegial support. The web home for Kindergarten teachers is at http://teachers.net/mentors/kindergarten .
The Teachers.Net Kindergarten Center includes a message board (known at Teachers.Net as a "chatboard"), an email group or "mailring," and links to free classroom printables along with additional resources of interest to those who teach Kindergarten.
The Kindergarten Chatboard hosts lively discussions about topics such as lesson plans and activities to accompany classic books including Chicka Chicka Boom Boom; Brown Bear, Brown Bear; Mrs. Wishy Washy; If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, and many more.
Teachers share information about good buys on classroom materials, problems related to classroom management, parent involvement, standards, learning center and theme activities. The forum assists teachers and classrooms who wish to connect with others seeking pen pals and hosts for Flat Stanley and other traveling buddies.
A visitor can easily access or elicit successful literacy and math lessons, recipes for play dough and other Kindergarten fare. If it's Kindergarten, it is discussed on the Teachers.Net Kindergarten Chatboard where a plea for help or advice often receives responses within minutes–often instantly.
Real time interaction is available through monthly, no-registration-needed, Kindergarten Teacher chat meetings in the Teachers.Net Meeting Room. Kindergarten teachers also flock to one or both of the two EC-Primary (9pm ET and 11pm ET) Tuesday chat meetings for early childhood and primary teachers. The schedule of chat meetings is posted online at http://teachers.net/chat/meetings.html and can be accessed through any "Meetings" link on the site. Chat transcripts are archived at http://teachers.net/archives.
The Teachers.Net Gazette monthly webzine inlcudes news, recipes, classroom photo tours and teaching tips of interest to those who teach or administer Kindergarten. Typing in http://teachers.net/gazette brings one to the current issue where there is a link to all back issues.
The Kindergarten Chatboard is one of more than 120 message boards designed for educators who work with infants-pre-K-12 through college level and can be reached via any "Chatboards" or Mentor Center link on the site. See also Kindergarten 577 1 - 6 |

Children’s Perceptions About Themselves and Their School Experiences
At the end of third grade, children were asked about their perceptions of their competence and interest in reading, mathematics, and school in general, and about their peer relationships and problem behaviors that they may exhibit (details on the measure used to assess children’s perceptions are provided in appendix B). On average, children indicated that they were generally interested in and enjoyed school, and that they did not perceive their schoolwork to be too difficult (table A-13). Girls tended to h... The kindergarten year marks a period of rapid change in the ways children think about themselves and the world around them (Bredekamp and Copple 1997; Sameroff and McDonough 1994). This change is influenced by both developmental factors (e.g., age, maturation) and environmental factors (e.g., schooling, home educational activities, family resources). Across this first year of schooling, children will acquire the knowledge and skills that will prove integral to their future success in school and in life. Children enter sc... A number of schools throughout Arizona offer parents the choice of sending their children to a full day of kindergarten versus a half day. Many benefits exist for children who attend full-day kindergarten programs, not the least of which is greater school success in later years. Parents and teachers alike also benefit from children's presence in an all day setting further increasing the positive effects on children's learning.
Arizona recently adopted the Full-Day Kindergarten Program, which funds eligible schools for the provision of full-day kindergarten instruction during the 2004-05 school year. Parents whose children will be attending partici... The Summer After Kindergarten: Children’s Activities and Library Use by Household Socioeconomic Status
Children enter kindergarten showing wide achievement gaps by family socioeconomic status (SES) (Coley 2002; Lee and Burkam 2002).1 A number of studies suggest that achievement gaps grow during the summer months when children are away from school (Heyns 1978; Cooper et al. 1996; Alexander, Entwisle, and Olson 2001). This finding may be related to a number of factors, including differences in children’s summer activities; children may differ by SES group in the extent to which they have the opportunity to ...
