Click on the links to view videos of me teaching kindergartners. These should give you a good perspective on how the teaching looks and sounds. Most of these lessons/worktimes correspond to resources I have at this site.
This series of videos shows the first day of Writer's Workshop in my kindergarten class. They represent about an hour of time, in order, minus the transitions. These videos correspond to the Unit 1 lessons in "Start to Write."
These videos show the first three lessons of Unit 2 in "Start to Write," About Me, About Mine. The students begin to write personal narratives. These lessons take place over three days. The third one shows just what the children are doing.
**If your school district blocks YouTube, you may need to watch these videos from home.
This short video shows just one conference with one of my little kinder writers who is just learning about writing.
Books I cannot teach without. I had to put a link here for some books I feel I learned everything from. They inform how I teach so much that I have trouble deciding where they end and I begin.
These two videos show the lessons from the poetry unit in "Start to Write." The children start to write poetry after some preliminary work.
