Teaching Methods

Right now I am doing my observing in a kindergarten classroom. The students are very active and love to be moving. When I teach my lessons to the students I rarely have them sit at their seats. I get them involved and let them move around so that do not get to bored. The last lesson that I taught was a math lesson on shapes. I actually had the students lay on the floor and make shapes with their bodies. This worked out really well because they got to move around and have fun while they learned. I feel that since the students feel more comfortable moving that they will learn more if they get to move around. I would like some other methods of teaching kindergarten kids. So if anyone has any great methods for teaching kindergarten kids please post and let me know.

Science Lesson Plans

I found a great website for teachers. It is a website where teachers can buy lesson plans and get great activities. You can also find different science fair projects on this website. I know that the last thing that teachers want to do is buy lesson plans, but sometimes teachers get stuck and this website can help. With this website teachers can find lesson plans on weather and the solor system. Along with the lesson plans comes different activities, articles, and games that a teacher can use in his/her classroom. The address for this website is http://www.science-lessons.ca/
