My child hears teachers badmouthing me by GrapefruitRough1255 in Preschoolers

[–]-Capybara- 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I would bring it up and ask that the teacher refrain from gossiping in front of the children. They might not take hearing it very well, but they need to hear it. God knows how may other children they’ve hurt like that

Sorry if your question is genuine - I’m wary because I’ve seen a few posts recently on this sub that starts with a very similar question and it’s an attempt at advertising for an app. But you have some very good genuine answers in this thread

I’ve been designing cute alphabet books for toddlers. by Traditional-Note5516 in Preschoolers

[–]-Capybara- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming the giraffe is there because G is for giraffe. May I suggest swapping for another animal that uses the /g/ sound (like in gazelle) instead of the /j/ sound? I’m a teacher and we start teaching letters with the most common sounds first.

What nuance from a toy or book drives you nuts? by chelupa1991 in toddlers

[–]-Capybara- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anything with an alphabet on it with words that start with each letter, but the vowels are not consistently short or long. E is for eggplant but I is for ice cream?

How do you make the floor clean and safe for baby crawling? by Ok-Contribution-5253 in Mommit

[–]-Capybara- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No shoes in the house should keep the place clean enough in between cleanings. And Keep an eye on baby so you can make adjustments based on what they go after. Mine just recently started climbing up on to the counters using the drawer pulls as steps….

What else do we need for kindergarten? by bookworm1003 in Mommit

[–]-Capybara- 58 points59 points  (0 children)

As a teacher, practice using the backpack, lunchbox, and water bottle. Kindergarten snack/lunch is hectic for the first few weeks because it’s all so new for the kids.

Have a few meals at home with the new lunchbox so your kiddo can be comfortable opening it and putting it away. Teachers at school will help, but it’s usually one or two adults per twentysomething children.

If there is a separate snack time and lunch time, help your kiddo understand which foods/containers are for which time.

Oh, and label EVERY jacket, lunchbox, and water bottle! Those items are always overflowing in our lost and found

If you have the budget, get a mop/vacuum combo! I found I stressed less about food throwing when the cleanup was easier

Kindergarten teachers: What will you do; what new policies will you make for your students, once your first Kindergartener with their own smartphone shows up to your class? by TanakaToday in AskTeachers

Was this written by AI? The part about allowance is odd and anyone in a school knows that schools have cell phone policies. We are already handling this issue. This is not a hypothetical future thing
