My life

      I believe teachers who instruct kindergartners have a unique opportunity to provide an educational foundation for young children; we teachers are often the first to introduce a child to the basics of mathematics, language, science and other subject and skill. Therefore we as teachers must be understanding of children to meet their needs in developing their different areas of learning.

I feel being a kindergarten teacher can be an extremely rewarding experience and an extremely demanding job! Kindergarten is a time for children to begin the transition from preschool to primary grades, and a great kindergarten teacher can help eager minds learn to love learning.

The rewards of seeing young children getting excited about learning and discovering new things can be great, though the job itself can be challenging.

Professional development is extremely important in helping early childhood teachers provide developmentally appropriate learning activities in a safe and educationally stimulating environment that addresses the needs of all children

Teaching kindergarten is somewhat different than teaching older students. 

• Kindergarten teachers often rely on interactive activities, using rhyming games, art projects and role playing to help younger children learn the basics of letters and numbers recognition.
• Emphasize on physical environment, the concept of space, shapes, colours, numbers, alphabets and prerequisites for writing, reading and language competencies.
• -Instruct students individually and in groups, adapting teaching methods to meet students’ varying needs, interests and skill level.
• Organize and lead activities designed to promote physical, mental and social development such as games, arts and crafts, music and story telling.
• Plan and supervise outdoor activities such annual sport day, year end dancing concert and variety trips for balanced program of instruction, demonstration, cooperation and exploration that provide students with opportunities to observe, explore, question and investigate which can guide students in learning from those activities.
• Confer with parents, other teachers and administrator to resolve students’ behavioural and academic problem.
• Instruct and monitor students in the use and care of equipment and material, in order to prevent injuries and damage.
• Meet with parents to discuss their children’s progress and to determine their priorities for their children and their resource need.
• Maintain accurate and complete students report and prepare reports on children and activities, as required by laws, district policies and administrative regulation.
• Use computer, audiovisual aids and other equipment and materials to supplement presentation.
• Attend school cooperation meeting, education conferences and teacher training workshop in order to maintain and improve professional competence.
