4.0 out of 5 stars
Yeah for Kindergarten,
By "iniki@ite.net" (Dededo, Guam United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Teach Kindergarten! (Paperback)
As teachers we are required and driven to expand our knowledge and fullfill professional development courses. Unfortunately, all to often when trying to do so we run up againt the notion that the information may be useful, but "I teach kindergarten and this doesn't apply". This obivously is not this case with Peggy Campbell-Rush's book "I Teach Kindergarten". I found her writing clear and direct. Some of the ideas I have applied in the past and now feel validation, others will be tried out next school year. Especially helpful are the reproducible pages for assessment and the student samples showing specific tasks and skill levels. This will be one teacher's aide text that will go on the shelf behind my desk and more importantly come off many times.

I Teach Kindergarten,
By Norman (Stroudsburg, Pa. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Teach Kindergarten! (Paperback)
As a parent, I recommend this book to all parents and teachers who want to see their children excel in all areas of development. The author, kindergarten teacher Peggy Campbell-Rush, offers a wealth of information on tried and proven techniques in her new book, I Teach Kindergarten. This book is a clear, concise and entertaining "how to" book. It takes you step by step through the process of developing a child's emotional, cognitive, physical and social skills and into the assessment of the child's progress. It delves into the topics of developmental and academic expectations and creating the classroom environment, complete with detailed descriptions of a variety of learning centers. It includes user friendly assessment forms and clear examples of their use. The book is full of illustrations, samples, and diagrams and has informative questions and answers sections for each chapter. Chapters on classroom management techniques, communicating with parents and helpful tidbits on the subjects of teaching with themes, preparing for substitute teachers and how to help struggling learners, make this a great reference book, loaded with good information for both parents and teachers alike.

A First Year Teacher's Miracle!,
By A Customer
This review is from: I Teach Kindergarten! (Paperback)
Three hours ago I received the book, "I Teach Kindergarten" and I just finished reading it cover to cover. The minute I opened the book I could not put it down. I just graduated from college and have accepted a position as a kindergarten teacher. Before reading this book I was overwhelmed with all that I needed to figure out and do before the beginning of the school year. After reading this book, I have several good ideas and my brain is in kindergarten mode. I am so excited about this position, and this book has given me several great ideas which I will incorporate in my classroom. All first year kindergarten teachers HAVE to have this book. I know I will use it for many years to come.
