Preschool Teaching Tips Sharing Preschool Teaching Ideas from my Pre-K classroom I'm an early childhood educator working in the field for 20 years.

I have taught 3s and Pre-K, but mostly Pre-K. I have found so many wonderful ideas on the Internet that I would like to share with you, and would like to hear yours too! I am greatly inspired by the Reggio Emilia and Waldorf methods. if you're looking for something beyond ABCs, look here!

We learned about the moon and the craters in the moon and then we made our bumpy moon pictures. First we mixed white paint with flour until it was a nice thick consistency then I put it into bowls with spoons and the kids spooned it out onto their posterboard circles.They spread it around and then I gave them bottle caps of different sizes to create their craters. It took three days for them to dry but once they dried, we mounted them on black paper. Then the kids added stars and planets by using Q-tips and circular sponges dipped in paint. I love doing multi step projects, and especially when they turn out so beautifully. If you can, do a close-up on the picture and you'll be able to see the craters!

We have been learning about outer space for the last couple of weeks. One of the projects I love to do every year is to give the kids a piece of black paper, some star stickers, and a piece of chalk. I have them create their own constellation and then after they have drawn the lines between the stars they give it a name. It is always delightful to see what they come up with! Such an easy project and yet fun and rewarding

Whenever i see a giant box I save it in my closet for a future project. And every year when we learn about outer space the kids and I create either a rocket ship or a space station. This is this year's space station. It does only fit two kids but we just make sure everybody gets a turn during the day and they love it so much!

This diversity sensory table has dried beans representing all the different colors of people in the world except the green which I added just for fun. My PreK kids were hilarious and said it was for zombies. Lol. I said maybe aliens?

In my PreK class we are currently taking a Trip Around the World. We spend 1 -2 weeks in each country. This we were are "in France" and we learned about French hopscotch. It's supposed to be a spiral like a snail, but this is the best I could do with the masking tape. The kids didn't minded they can't get enough of it!
