    I give you so much credit for teaching kindergarten. I subbed for a second grade classroom ONCE and wanted to pull all my hair out lmao - that's when I knew that I was more suited to middle and high school - praise for all the elementary school teachers like you, I don't know how you do it

      I’m a Pre-k teacher! 🤣 my parents said they don’t know how I do it. Then when I go home it’s noise again between my 3 & 8 year olds, give me grace! My spouse is annoyed of the noise but I’m immune to it all. Everyday I tell him he would not survive as an elementary teacher! Kudos to us elementary teachers. We’re patient and nurturers indeed!

    I loved teaching Kinder. Some cute things I did was they had an imaginary bubble in their mouth in hallway, so if they talked the bubble popped. They loved it and we always got class compliments. Lots of brain breaks (Go Noodle, etc.), bucket filling (made a giant bucket and we filled our class bucket with kind things we noticed about eachother), chit-chat chart (behavior system before our school wide behavior system-gave them chances before they had to possibly change color), video read aloud occasionally, etc. THE BEST grade to teach! :)

    I do the same with my premier protein. I call it meal prepping lol. I use five jars and pour a premier protein into each and then I top each jar with coffee and put them in the refrigerator. It's a nice grab-and-go breakfast ☺️.

    I did my student teaching in a kindergarten classroom and my mentor teacher used a red choice green choice chart. There's lots on Pinterest. And it worked really well with the kiddos, especially one kiddo with behavioural issues.
    Kindergarten is definitely different than the other grades but they're so much fun to be around. Good luck!
