5 Things That Make Your Life Easier As A Kindergarten Teacher
This was a great thing to read. The five things to include in your classroom are positive recognition, choices, routine, movement, and singing. It may not always be easy to include these in a classroom. However, the students will get a lot of enjoyment out of having all of these positive events in their environment. I really like that she uses singing to teach small lessons!

Responsibility in a Bucket (Kind Of)
I found humor in this section because Leslie points out that things always end up on the floor in the classroom. Instead of focusing on everything that falls on the floor, make buckets for "lost" items! That way students can pick the items up and they have a set place of where the item goes when it is "lost". This is a fantastic idea. I want to implement it in my future classroom! This was just one of many great ideas that I enjoyed reading about.
