I am ordering this book, my current volume of this book is from the library. This is an excellent book. I am a day care provider, and my children were thrilled with all the stuff we found inside this book. All of the materials were easy to get too. I highly recommend it to any teacher of preschoolers and up; and to every day care provider.

I haven't used a transition book by anyone else to compare, bu thtis book is incredibly detailed. It has discipline, morning, circle, attention getting, games, rhymes, chants, stories...and then What, Why, When, How and preperation information for each activity. And their are hundreds of them! I use it for my own 3 kids and the 3 extra I watch for daycare.

None of these techniques will revolutionize your classroom, but Jean Feldmen organizes this book (like all of her books) with masterful structure.

Separating the chapters by activity and sub-organizing each chapter by topic allows a teacher to economically turn to the transition she needs with little time to spare. The Discipline and Attention Getter chapters will save tons of time!

One added bonus: Black and white pages that copy easily on any copy machine.

I am an experienced teacher and I can tell you that these ideas work! I just revisited this book and got a lot of fresh ideas that I think will work too. Many of the ideas I think work better for lower grade levels. I would highly recommend this to anyone new to teaching or substitute teachers.

This book is a great resource for quick ideas to make the time between lessons move quickly. I am a kindergarten teacher and I am always looking for new ideas. It is jam packed with a variety of activities.

I bought this book looking for some new ideas to use in my pre-k class.
What a wonderful resource! With it's nice crisp layout, clearly defined chapters and new idea on each page it makes for easy reading.
The ideas are fun and practical with easy to create visuals and tools.
You'll have a blast using them and the kids will love them too!

Learn how to make transitions fun, easy, and manageable in your classroom everyday. The author includes over 400 ideas and activities for use by teachers.

This one is a classic. Simple, frugal, silly- this is stuff you will use everyday. Some books are inspiring. Some make you drool over fancy materials. Some you USE. Mine is wrinkled and taped up and has sticky notes hanging out the sides because I have used it for 10 years.

The book is in great shape. Just like it said it would be. I really am enjoying it. Thank you

Very good book. Used in our school program as a teacher's resource to help transition young children between activities/programs.
