I agree! She has been so helpful to me. I always buy her math and literacy lessons from TPT and my children enjoy it so much. ❤

Thank you for your videos! So you follow your own curriculum? My private preschool implemented a new curriculum last year called The Creative Curriculum. I have to follow a specific curriculum starting with the First Six Weeks.

Love all your materials! What kind of board is used for question of the day?

[@PocketofPreschool]

It is an oil drip pan from an auto parts store that I painted with chalkboard paint.

[@jgaatz5558]

Wow, love your in home and all your videos. I'm just studying to be a teacher and find you amazing! How many kids do you have? Do parents hesitate to sign up with you vs a larger center?

[@PocketofPreschool]

I am state licensed and I take 8-10 kids.

[@annalopez8246]

Do you have them in Spanish?

[@ashleywhetsell1696]

How long do you spend doing each activity? Like how long do you anticipate keeping them at each table before changing to another subject or activity?

[@PocketofPreschool]

It just depends on the students. You can find my schedule here. pocketofpreschool.com/preschool-daily-schedule-and-visual/

[@andeesignsable]

How do you keep the kids out of the small manipulative by their cubbies? How to keep the littles from dumping and mouthing

[@PocketofPreschool]

Going over routines lots of times to practice how to use manipulatives

Would you be interested in getting them translated? I am a Bilingual Preschool Teacher

Who is reading the question of the day to them since they can’t read yet?

[@PocketofPreschool]

You can read more about how I do question of the day in my class here. pocketofpreschool.com/question-of-day/

[@jeannenebabor7897]

You have to read it to them. You’re right. They can’t read. I don’t do my question of the day at the beginning of the day because it doesn’t fit in my schedule. And I am busy with monitoring the bathroom, hall, breakfast, breakfast attendance, school attendance, helping with opening some harder to open food items. And yes, I have a fabulous PA. Instead I do it during circle time. My question always go with the unit of study. I also don’t have sign in. It’s really not age appropriate for my 3 year olds. They should be building finger and hand muscles. And my four year olds practice writing throughout the day in other ways. It really frustrates some kids when they don’t know how to write and you ask them to scribble on paper. Some know that scribbling is not what their name looks like or conventional writing. Some kids are not ready at all to write. They show no interest in it. Also some kids can’t control their hand movement and will scribble all over he whole sign in page including on open spaces where the next student is supposed to write or on top of the other students writing and it causes a problem. And I don’t have time erase around the scribbles. So I just stopped. We work on writing their names, name recognition, writing pre writing skills, with those who it is appropriate to do this with, and we work on hand and muscle development with all students. It works better for me.
