I have an interview next Tuesday for a kindergarten interview and I would love some ideas! I currently teach 2nd grade but I am moving and the area I am moving to has a kindergarten position open. That level of literacy is much lower than what I am used to, so if you could help me out by giving me a link to a lesson or giving me ideas and a book to use, I would really appreciate it. I thought of the following books, but I am stuck with a connecting activity:

*Dont Let the Pigeon Stay…

I just moved to the UAE. A school whose students speak mainly in Arabic, requested from me to teach KG1 students English. They did not provide me with a workbook or any teacher resources. I don’t know how to go about teaching ESL. Please help!

I need these questions answer for an education class. please help
The questions are:
1. What emergent literacy skills do you expect to see already developed in each child when they arrive in your classroom?
2. What emergent literacy skills do you include in your curriculum?
3. What accommodations do you make in your classroom to meet the emergent literacy developmental needs of each student? How do you address the wide range of emergent literacy abilities present in your classroom?

I’m looking for some kind of a check off that is kid friendly that the kids can use as they do literacy centers. Anyone have anything like this they would be willing to share?

How can I get children between 0-4 to understand the importance of literacy? Also, what are some read-aloud activities that children between ages 3-4 would enjoy?
Thanks for your help.

Any thoughts?
I need to read a book, ask questions, and do a small writing assignment.
Any book that would go good with that?

If you were to design a literacy packet for parents to use over the summer before their child starts kindergarten, what would it include and why?

Hi All,
We just moved to Houston, TX. My son will be 5 years in Oct 2010, and when we inquired for his school admission, at 3-4 schools around our home, they told us that he cannot go to Kindergarten in this fall because of his date of birth, and he has to sit with the pre-K kids for which the admission is not guaranteed (very limited number of schools provide pre-K program and preference will be for kids of non-English speaking parents).
However, my son reads pretty well (courtesy to the literacy program in his previous daycare at Nashville, TN…
