Teaching kindergarteners is certainly not the easiest thing in the world. One of the most crucial elements of a successful kindergarten teacher is the ability to adapt. Whether we’ve been teaching for a few weeks or 30 years, we know that no two days are the same in the classroom. By demonstrating an ability to adapt our teaching strategies to suit any situation and class ability, we will find success in every lesson and allow students to reach their full potential.
