Product Overview
Most young children need help making transitions from one activity to the next. Transition Time Activities: Fun Learning Experiences for Young Children in PreK-K, by Ellen Booth Church, will help teachers build time into their school day to turn transition time into learning time for building language, literacy, math, creative thinking and problem-solving schools.
Since transitions can be difficult for young children, this four-page laminated guide offers teachers suggestions of ways to make changing activities a smooth process. When teachers think of transition times as opportunities for skill building, they allow additional time for students to grow and develop new skills. Transitions are made easier by applying specific strategies throughout the day, including:
- Arrival and settling in
- Group meeting time
- Activity center time
- Clean up time
- Dismissal time
Other topics covered in Transition Time Activities: Fun Learning Experiences for Young Children in PreK-K include:
- Developmental considerations
- Communicating with families
- Sample transition plans
