Two Important Resources for Teaching Kindergarten

1) Lesson plan:

http://school.discoveryeducation.com/lessonplans/k-5.html

This lesson plan website will be very useful to me as a future Kindergarten teacher. It offers lots of creative, hands-on activities for teaching different standards and activities. There are a lot of free lesson plans and plenty of good ideas to choose from on this website.

2) Teaching and Learning related Videos:

(Kindergarten Power Teaching)

This video was really interesting to me because I have learned about Power Teaching in a few of my classes. I think it is a really interesting idea particularly for teaching Kindergarten since students are so young and may not be able to use higher level thinking in a lot of activities. The video is a really great visual example of how Power Teaching can be used to engage students in the Kindergarten classroom.
