I used all of these techniques in my TK/K combo. The only difference was during small group time and table work time. That's when I taught the K standards to my K kids and provided them with table activities designed to help them master the K standards. Other than that, they got to experience lots of "play" time developing their social skills and oral language. When you meet with your 3 TKs (and maybe a few of your lowest Ks) provide small group instruction that fosters their fine-motor development and conceptual understanding of letters & numbers. Someone told me to remember that at the beginning of the year, they are all really just T.K. students, right? And even your oldest English Only K students are still English Language learners because they are only 5! They ALL need to develop their language skills. :)KFUNdamentalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16251863974008362373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616535525511956320.post-80802624366607761622015-07-31T07:26:37.917-07:002015-07-31T07:26:37.917-07:00Thank you for sharing these wonderful tips.

Nothing has really changed for us except that they have a second year. When you have classes of 28-32 kiddos and only 3 are TK's it's difficult to give them the curriculum that they need. Any suggestions?sandyj559https://www.blogger.com/profile/15906204482207206422noreply@blogger.com
