“In trauma-informed classrooms, some of the most meaningful growth shows up quietly. It may look like a child remaining in the room during circle time instead of running away … That recovery is not a failure, but growth in action,” educator Sarah Fritz writes. 🌱

It’s possible to set clear boundaries during large group time *and* give students space to feel like themselves. Here’s some guidance from preschool teacher Hema Khatri. 🙌

This preschool teacher made 4 shifts that helped large-group time be a success:
⭐ Letting students lead
⭐ Planning predictable pauses
⭐ Assigning roles
⭐ Setting boundaries instead of rules
Here’s how they all helped build shared ownership of learning.

Children's hands manipulate ziplock bags filled with snow, and two primary colors of paint. One child is poking the snow with one finger, one is bashing it with a fist, and one is scrunching it with all of their fingers. It is a STEAM lesson on matter and primary colour mixing, disguised as goofing around in pre-k.
Presenting: my fave annual lesson, always on a post-snow delayed opening day. It incorporates four senses to observe snow, descriptive language, sensory play, exploration of changes in matter, reasoning, prediction, and mixing primary colors.
I'm very proud of it. 🥹

Your pre-K kids know the story of the three little pigs. 🐷
Here’s what happens when they tell it their way: classic tales become a meaningful tool for language play, imagination, confident communication, *and* early writing foundations.

Graphic of quote from educator Susan Van Zant, Ed. D. saying "High-quality pre-K materials lay the groundwork for literacy and math skills as they are designed to help children recognize letters, sounds, and basic math concepts. When children develop these skills prior to entering kindergarten, they develop the confidence they need to become capable learners and enjoy their school experience."
Our dedicated educator reviewers know that pre-K lays the groundwork for future skills.
Thank you to Susan Van Zant and all the fantastic educator reviewers who have contributed to our upcoming pre-K curriculum reviews!

High-quality #preK programs equip young children with the the foundational skills they need to learn when they enter school. #UPK is creating a bridge between early childhood and #TK-12 systems to increase students’ readiness for school so all children thrive in school and life.
The “Talk for Writing” approach is based on a simple but powerful idea: children need to hear stories and talk about them before they can write. 💬✍️
In her first article for Edutopia, teacher Claire Martin explains what that looks like in pre-K.

“The pedagogy of emergent curriculum is grounded in the idea that when we use the children’s questions to guide their learning experiences, we honor the children’s intrinsic motivation and teach them that curiosity is a meaningful way to explore their world.”
