So Much In One Book,
By Eric Sundberg (Lewisburg, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Kindergarten: Teaching Reading, Writing, & More (Paperback)
Constance Leuenberger's book is an excellent combination of educational philosophy coupled with ideas, ideas, and more ideas! An easy read that would be a GREAT resource for ALL new Kindergarten teachers and a wonderful resource to help experienced teachers remember how important developementally appropriate strategies are. This book is full of great ideas, strategies, and tips that are simple and ready to implement. Another strength is how the author shares thoughts for teachers of half day and/or full day programs. Constance understands how young children learn. She knows that we must teach the "whole" child....from their academic to their social well being. This book is an excellent addition to your professional library.

A Must for Kindergarten Teachers,
By
This review is from: The New Kindergarten: Teaching Reading, Writing, & More (Paperback)
THE NEW KINDERGARTEN is a step-by-step guide for creating a nurturing and stimulating kindergarten classroom. It's a combination of traditional practices with innovative twists, contemporary benchmarks with samples to follow, and an interlaced theme of literacy that prevails during all activities of the day. A colleague and I had the same reaction to the book: makes me want to go back to teaching kindergarten so I can try these great techniques.

A "Must Read" for the Kindergarten Teacher,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Kindergarten: Teaching Reading, Writing, & More (Paperback)
I have had the honor of seeing Ms. Leuenberger adapt the very principals that she writes about in her book in her own classroom on "The Vineyard". Believe me, these strategies and lessons work. I suggest that each school have this book available for their Kindergarten teachers. The suggestions and ideas in this book make "Meeting the Standards" easy and fun.
