Comment on Classroom Management Part I by Mary Crowgey

Dear Debra,

I watched a few of your videos on teaching kindergarten this morning and really enjoyed them, though I work sort of tutoring kids in Burkina in English, not a close match! After one of your videos there were 9 or so others offered for viewing and I watched one after another and came across one about a mediation program that has decreased suspensions in schools in Kentucky that I would love to watch again and download but I can’t find it any more. Can you help me?

I think it would be great if somewhere on your website there was a list of all the associated videos like that for people to consult. Keep up the good work!

Wonderful!!! Donors Choose is such a great way to get funding for your classroom and of course, Lakeshore makes such quality products for the classroom! Congratulations and well done!

I am soo excited to organize my classroom library! I got the Lakeshore Library organizer in one of my Donor’s Choose projects and worked on it today at school! I got 20 new bins from the Dollar Tree and got to work putting the new labels on all of my books. I still have a lot of books to sort through but I definitely made a good start! I can’t wait for the kids to see it on Tuesday and start learning how to put back their books in the right place after reading them (great for classifying and sorting).

I also got the rectangle labels in 4 colors (from Target/Office Depot) to organize all my games and manipulatives that the kids can use. Now they will know were to put the games back (into which cubby) so not everything is all mixed up.

Great way for me to get organized in the New Year!

This was fun for the kids. I had cotton balls out for another project, and they started using the cotton (pulling it apart) as snow.

For easy & colorful patterning activities I like sentence strips and “yard sale” sticky dots. . .they don’t have the weight/white glue issue to deal with, come is a variety of colors, and aren’t permanent (so the students can move them around if needed).

Hi. I am not the most computer literate person around and I would like to copy the Transitional Kindergarten PowerPoint information you have provided. Can you tell me how I can do that please? Or, could you just e-mail the information to me so I can copy it? Thank you so much for your help. Best wishes and Happy Halloween, Rissa Burke
