Quiet time activity’s
Me and my lead teacher are looking for some cheap quiet time activities that will fit in standard pencil cases. These will be used for the kids that don’t sleep/ wake up early during nap. Any ideas would be helpful!

I bought these little pads that have a plastic pencil attached. They kids can write and draw on them and with a click of a button it erases. It looks like a mini IPad but it's not. Then we let them have books and some fidget toys.

I do them within the first two weeks that way I can start grouping them accordingly and get them started with a routine for small groups. It is just alphabet recognition (lower and upper case), numbers, counting, shapes and colors.

Teaching Strategies Gold Assessments
Hi all! For those who complete TS GOLD assessments, what is the best way you have found to stay on track with observations/documentation to support the abundance of domains before the checkpoints? I find that I struggle spacing everything out and end up in a rush for finding evidence to assess my students. I don’t have any issue with how I collect data, I just want to make sure I take the time to not have to do it all at once! This year, I really want to fine tune my documentation schedule to make it so much easier for assessing 20 TK students. Thank you!

I pick two objectives that I focus on at a time and I do my lesson plans based on those objectives. So my mighty minutes and small groups will always have them and during my prep time, I assess them that same day. I started doing that this year and it helped keep me on track.

First weeks using centers
Has anyone started the school year by only opening about half of the centers during the first week or two? Last year, I had all of the centers open right away, and it felt a little hectic. The children didn't know where everything belonged, and toys ended up everywhere. I'm wondering if opening only half of the centers at first would make it easier for my para and me to teach the children how to use the materials appropriately and where everything goes during cleanup. Has anyone tried this strategy, or something similar? I'd love to hear how it worked for you!

@Maureen Garrity The kids I had last year, about 1/2 were returners, and up until the end of the school year, I was still reminding them how to use centers and toys 🤣 I think I will try something different this year, especially since I'm in a new school and I don't know the children at all.

@Joan Burke all of them; math, literacy, social emotional, cognitive, physical and English Lang. Aquis for those that needed that.

@Meredith Covert Sorry, maybe I miswrote it. The ITE is the lesson, and when I'm done, I can assess all the kids online based on that lesson online. The ITE is on my lesson plans, so I just click, choose the kids I want to assess, and done.
