New Year, New Pre-School

Jan 1st 2018

Does this sound anything like your day-to-day schedule as a preschool teacher?

1.Arrive at school, and look over your lesson ideas. Gather last-minute supplies for the day.

2.Teach for hours. Gather forgotten materials as you go.

3.Dismiss children.

4.Start working on the next day's lessons. Decide on themes, brainstorm activities, and search for printables.

5.Go home in hopes of a few minutes of relaxation before heading back to school to do it all again the next day.

If you're operating on a one-day-at-a-time schedule like this, you probably feel harried, disorganized and close to approaching burnout. Working this way exhausting, but teaching doesn't have to be such a drain.

Instead, as you enter a new year, resolve to approach your classroom responsibilities in a refreshed way. All it will take is the addition of a new helper: curriculum. A prepared curriculum will become the classroom helper you have always wanted. When you begin to rely on curriculum, and you'll find that your teaching experience becomes less stressful and more organized.

An Organized Year

Using the same curriculum over the course of a year ensures that your students' education will cover an appropriate scope and sequence. From the beginning of the year until the end, the things that they learn will build on each other to give your preschoolers a comprehensive, well-rounded education. You won't have to worry, "Did I cover that enough?" or "Is that the same focus that we had a few weeks ago?"

Plus, curriculum can provide special activities for special days. Your students will have the fun of celebrating holidays with their classmates, and you won't have to stress about coming up with the activities to go along with the days.

An Organized Display

Are bulletin boards and classroom decor an afterthought for you? With a busy schedule, other, more pressing responsibilities can crowd out decorating. However, a well-thought-out display can complement and reinforce the lessons that you are teaching your students. When you rely on the right preschool curriculum, display items will be provided for you. And since you'll no longer be devoting all of your spare time to lesson prep, you'll have no problem finding a few minutes to hang the decorative items.

An Organized Supply System

When you have to stop in the middle of an activity because you forgot to gather a supply, everyone loses. As the teacher, it can be frustrating and embarrassing to show up ill-prepared. As for the students, they miss out on valuable learning time while you search for the missing items.

A comprehensive preschool curriculum, like that created by Learning Box Preschool, solves this problem by providing many of the supplies you need, including craft materials. Open the day's activity pack, divide up the materials among the students, and you and your students will be ready to go. Parents will be pleased with the creative projects their students are bringing home, and you'll be satisfied with how streamlined your work has become.
