KINDERGARTEN: Tattle-Tales, Tools, Tactics, Triumphs and Tasty Treats for Teachers and Parents is a great book written by Susan Case, an LDS Author. Though many reading this blog are homeschoolers, I feel this is still a great read for any parent of a Kindergartener, there are many great ideas that could be of use to both parent and teacher alike.
As an early childhood education major, this book took me back in time to my teaching days. Anyone who has ever loved a child of kindergarten age will appreciate the funny tales that Ms. Case shares of the kindergarteners she has encountered in her many years of teaching. You’ll laugh out loud, and sometimes cry. Ms. Case is the kindergarten teacher that, anyone who sends their child to public school, hopes their child will have.
Filled with early childhood developmental insight, and loaded with activities and advice; this book is able to be applied at home, and even in home schooling…not just in the classroom.
Kindergarten is also filled with lots of really great quotes, including several from General Authorities.
I highly recommend this book for anyone with a kindergartener in their life…

My favorite Kindergarten memory? Hmm, I remember doing color days where everything we worked on was focused on the color. Purple stands out to me. We had grapes, used purple paint, learned the letter Pp and so on.
ReplyDeleteI had the opportunity of downloading it several weeks ago onto my phone. It is a fun read! I didn't know she was an LDS author, that is a good thing to know!
ReplyDeleteTristan and Genevieve - thank you for your comments. My daughter's favorite color is purple - a fun color indeed. Genevieve - I'm so glad you liked my book. I'm co-authoring another book - The Happy Mommy Handbook - for moms of preschoolers which will be out soon. Hope you'll visit my site. I'll visit everyone who leaves a comment. Have a great day! So glad you liked the book! That makes my day!
ReplyDeleteI vividly remember my first day of Kindergarten and the moment my mom left and the tears that soon followed. I was so sad being on my own but quickly adjusted. I have a child who will start Kindergarten next year so this will be interesting to read.
