You'll find them here. This book is loaded with with creative ways to structure your day, and make learning fun and enriching. It saved my life.

This is a wonderful book to use when organizing your early childhood classroom! I love the ideas and I am now currently using them in my kindergarten classroom..."they really work!"

I just graduated from college and received my first teaching position. Overwhelmed with the thought of teaching kindergarten, I bought this book. This book has so many great ideas that I will definately use in my classroom. I highly recommend this book.

When I first started teaching, I did not know the first thing about setting up an early childhood classroom for "bity kids". This book takes you from the home visits to the end of the year in showing how to do it in a real-life way, not in some theoretical way that springs from college textbooks.

I especially liked the part on home visits. Check it out!

This book may have been written by a real teacher, but you will learn absolutely nothing new about working with kindergarten kids from her. The authors regurgitate well-learned ideas and praise themselves for the "novelty" of incorporation of these in practice. This book may be somewhat well suited for new-graduates, that yearn for examples of how things work. But even new graduates eventually develop an aversion to the patronizing self-praising style of these authors. Dont waist your money, buy something else!

The book had many wonderful ideas for kindergarten.....not so many for preschool age. I wish I had bought a used copy $$$$$.

Great ideas, especially for getting to know your students and getting them prepared for coming to class on the first day.

The only thing I don't like is the layout. The pages are those cheap, off-white type sheets, which makes it slightly tougher to read. The pictures would have also been more helpful if they were in color.

Overall, an okay read and worth the $12.00

I would also recommend: Early Learning Environments that work, and Designs for Living and Learning.

I bought this book to gather more information about classroom management and didn't realize how much of an asset it would be. I like the format of the book and would recommend it to any teacher starting out in the field. I am currently a preschool teacher and there is good information that can be used for both young and older children. This book includes additional information such as pictures that you can copy and use for your classroom.

This has a lot of ideas for the new kindergarten teacher. I needed organization and daily structure ideas. This had some great ideas to pull from. I recommend this for anyone just starting out. Some of the ideas were geared more toward pre-k but could be adapted for kinder.

A very practical source for new Kindergarten teachers. Absolutely easy to use and tailor to your own classroom needs. I used many of these ideas the first week of school and will continue to tap this source throughout the school year.
