Yoga Cards: amzn.to/35ARcsm or amzn.to/2TpLKmr
Teaching Board: You need a teaching easel that has a bar on the top so the pages can flip. Then you will need large rings, construction boards, bulletin board trim, cut out letters and lots of velcro! Please see the following links...
Easel: amzn.to/31HnLna
Rings: amzn.to/3jqxtjW (having extra will come in handy for other items in the classroom)
Construction Boards: amzn.to/31KbkXP
Bulletin Border: I like to keep a theme but it is also great to have each page look slightly different.

Velcro: You will want heavy Duty
amzn.to/3jA5le6 (Black)
amzn.to/3e3tnNI (Clear)
Super Spray: amzn.to/3mog0dN (these bottles are fun and inviting colors and the perfect size for washing and refilling each day.)
Some of my all-time favorite circle time CDs:
amzn.to/3owH8t2 (Kids in Motion)
amzn.to/3e0xpGp (Kids in Action)
amzn.to/3jyhdxa (We All Live Together 2)
amzn.to/37EkN6O (We All Live Together 1)
amzn.to/37L0G6L (Quiet Moments)
All kiddos are full of sensory needs at this age! Using the super spray can be a fun and inviting strategy to not only praise positive behaviour, but to also allow their oral motor movements to awaken, and bring their whole bodies in touch with their senses! Pf course consult with your classroom parents and explain the benefits of giving them this simple yet fun reward! I have used simple things such as flavoured water, watered-down lemonade, etc. I would somedays even just put freshwater and have them do a SUPER SWIRL in a mist of water above their heads. This may be more COVID regulation friendly!

wife worked daycare 15 years. rewarding job. only reason she left was heart condition, but yes tough job. like being a nurse , my mom was for 25 years labor & delivery. it takes a special person , caring, loving compassion to be a teacher. hats off to all of you.

Hello All, I wanted to send a huge THANK YOU for all your kind and supportive comments. I sincerely apologize for not responding, or posting more videos. I am currently in the UK studying a PhD and will be returning to either the preschools or the classrooms hopefully in January. Please watch for more videos then!

This was a very nostalgic video. I remember being in kindergarten in the early 2000’s as well as helping out volunteering in a kindergarten class just last year and making a life long brother bond with one of the kids in the class i helped out in. This video brings back so many memories from my past and from recently helping in the class.

Love seeing the teacher interact with the neurodiverse student so naturally. The assistant wasn't only focused on one child but was truly supporting in the classroom watching and signaling other students.

Wow! I am a preschool educator and I love the atmosphere of this classroom and the group sessions. I hope to model this in my own classroom!

Really good video to learn many things from teachers who are enjoying with kids to bring them up. Thank you very much I love circle time which projects all the skills which are imperative to learners.
-
I love this video. I found this video as research for a college report. I find this video inspiring and really made me want to be a teacher. I love how you refer to everyone as 'friends' instead of saying 'guys and galls' or some slang. It makes it a warm environment. All the children seem constantly entertained and involved as well as having fun. So inspiring
