#1 Tip For Teachers Of Little Learners

My #1 Tip For Teachers Of Little Learners may seem obvious, but it’s crucial for classroom success. Explicitly teach your students how to use school supplies! Don’t worry if you need assistance with this – I’ve got just the resource for you.

In kindergarten, some children may not have had prior experience using the wide variety of school supplies available. By teaching them what each item is, how to properly use them, and how not to use them, you can equip your little learners with the tools they need to succeed academically throughout the year.

Getting Started

• NEVER assume your students already know how to use school supplies. Teach them that they are tools and give them time to practice with each one.
• Use an interactive anchor chart to draw each school supply. Next, explicitly describe how to use and how not to use each tool.
• Have practice pages available for your little learners to utilize the information about each supply.
