5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Transitions- Terrific Ideas, August 1, 2001
By A Customer
What a wonderful book! This book is the ultimate must have of any pre-k to 1st teacher. It gives different transition examples for just about any type of activity. It is well categorized into different types of activities. It even gives extensions and different types of ways to do each transitions. I teach kindergarten and have found this book to work miracles when changing topics, to lining up for lunch, or simply getting the wiggles out. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Transitions lives up to it's name!, August 28, 2001
By C.L. Phillips (Greensburg PA) - See all my reviews
Although "practical" is an overused word it suits this book to a "T". The ideas help with classroom management and provide unique learning opportunities for the children. The book contains a nice mix of transition tips. There are suggestions for wild fun and also for quieting an overly exuberant bunch. The ideas can be implemented immediately and easily. That's a big plus for busy teachers. This is a great selection for new and experienced educators. I think Terrific Transitions lead to a terrific day!
