Question by rachel_ann_82: Anything I should know for my kindergarten teacher interview?
I’ve been teaching 1st grade for 3 years, but am interviewing for a kindergarten position at another school. I know K and 1st grade aren’t TOO different, but kids really do change a lot over that one year, and I want to be ready for anything!

Question by ariesalways411: Duagthers fundrasier, kindergarten, People at work to buy?
My daughter is 5 and in kindergarten. She just received her first fundraiser. A small catolage of pizza, cookies, treats, kitchen gadgets. How do I ask people to take a look…I know these things are expensive, I only plan on asking a few people at my work that I know would be able to afford it. But I dont want any one to feel pressured.
She only needs one sale to get a prize. And Im sure that will be what we get, lol.

Yes, I am going to teach Kindergarten after working in the county Jails for 4 years. I have been told that I would be a great teacher, even from the inmates, it is where my true passion lies. I am not worry as I know that I have a great talent with children and a lot of patience from my previous job experience!

Question by schneeballe: Do you see an advantage or value in Montessori preschool and kindergarten?
Hello,
Our 4 year old daughter is in her first year of Montessori preschool. We plan on keeping her in this program for one more year of preschool and then for Kindergarten. I don’t think we’ll continue with Montessori-style education for elementary though. I have read quite a bit about it and I definitely like it though it is expensive at $ 285 month for 3 mornings/ week. Does anyone have any feedback/experience to how their child fared with Montessori preschool/kindergarten compared to a play-based preschool? Thanks!

Answer by Maria
If you don’t feel that Montessori is right for your child, then by all means, move her, but I think it’s right to let her finish her primary years in the same school. You should look into public Montessori schools in your area if you are concerned about the price. What exactly do you object to?

Answer by makeupguru44
Get five bottoms (jeans, skirts, etc) and 10-15 tops so he or she can mix and match.
Why the thumbs down? You can get extremely inexpensive clothes from children’s place and their outlets as well…I have four boys and it works for me!

Question by warrior: What is the probability that the sample of kindergarten children has a mean height of less than 40.3 inches?
Kindergarten children have heights that are approximately normally distributed about a mean of 39.6 inches and a standard deviation of 1.6 inches. If a random sample of 28 is taken, what is the probability that the sample of kindergarten children has a mean height of less than 40.3 inches?
i tried (40.39.6)/(1.6/√28) = 2.3155 and that is my z-score.. correct? so then the probability should be .4896 right? wells its not…. what am i doing wrong here?
Best answer:
Answer by Gerry
For one thing, a simple look at the fact that 4.3 > 39.6 should let you know that the answer must be larger than 1/2 so you should notice that your answer is incorrect.
The value 40.3 inches is (40.3 – 39.6) / 1.6 = .7 / 1.6 = .4375 standard deviations from the mean.
The probability that the mean height is less than 40.3 inches is .6991

Question by twin-mami: Those of you thart have Identical Twins, did you put them in the same kindergarten class?
My twins will not go to kindergarten until fall 2010, but I am really debating on weather or not to put them in the same kindergarten class. I want to get advice from parents of identical twins. Thanks.
Best answer:
Answer by squirrel_paw
I AM an identical twin. For the first semester we were in separate classes, then later put together. Try separating them to see how they behave independently. If one of them has problems adjusting, put them in the same class.

Question by fefe96786 y: Will I qualify as a preschool or kindergarten teacher?
I am 9 electives away from receiving my bachelors degree in psychology. I want to know if I select early childhood education courses as my electives (inaddition too, other child development courses that I have already taken) will I be qualified to teach preschool or kindergarten? Furthermore, is there some kind of exam I will have to take? Thanks
Best answer:
Answer by -USMC-Woman
There is a teacher certification test that you will have to take in order to teach. I don’t know if your degree will be enable you to take the test though. I would check with your state about your degree because teachers are also required to intern (unpaid) before they can start teaching.
