AT SCHOOL

   Kangaroo classroom educational design

  • The classroom design to give the students opportunities to participate in activities that will help and challenge them to be successful; at their level.​
  • The students will have opportunities to work individually as well as with others. 
  • The students will be taught and inspired through creativity.
  • Students will be encouraged to be self-reliant, to think, speak, and write with clarity and precision, and independence.
  • Students will get to challenge themselves and strive to be the best that they can be in all things whether big or small.
  • ​The children will be introduced to a personal and loving, ‘Creator-God’, who loves and cares for them.  

 Classroom set up

The classroom set up is clean and simple and allows for moral development and growth of the students.
​
  • Students can use their imagination and pretend as they use the home center to dress up and play house.
  • Project based and emergent learning  will be used and enhanced as the learning emerges by the questions that the children ask. ​
  • Projects may go on longer that originally planned if it benefits the class to do so. 
​

​Classroom Guidance  

 The behavior guidance that is used in my class, is to help support the growth of the students as they work through developmental issues.

​ Strategies are used to preserve the dignity of the students; while, encouraging responsible behavior.  

​Class rules  are made to keep the students safe, to be courteous, and to promote fairness.  
Here are some behavior practices that will be used in the kindergarten class:

​1.  Hand signals or gestures
2.  Transition signals
3.  Behavior guidance (‘GREEN, YELLOW, RED’ behavior chart) 
4.  CLASS DOJO
5.  Prayer Corner/Cozy Corner
6.   Parent-Teacher Conference
