F.A.Q: Elementary School Questions
: 1. What do you do with children who always finish their work early? I teach third grade and am having trouble keeping the children busy and quiet. I would rather not have them do "busy work". Thank you.; 2. I teach 4th grade. I would like to incorporate more hands-on activities, but I am overwhelmed with the curriculum. How can I bring more hands-on activities to a 4th grade classroom?; 3. This is my first year teaching kindergarten and I'm having problems keeping the children focused during large group lessons. Do you have any suggestions?; 4. First Grade - I am having trouble getting everything in during the day. I am afraid I won't cover all of my curriculum by the end of the year.

I am having trouble coming up with meaningful, manageable assignments for the lower groups to do while I work with the other students.

But these four choices get boring after doing them over and over again. What else can I try?; 7. I am feeling overwhelmed with planning. This is my first year teaching. I plan what I think is a good lesson but we end up finishing way early. Also, I don't feel like I have time to actually teach things. We have three groups and two levels for both math and reading. I feel like iI spend most of my time quieting the kids who are NOT in my group. I feel like all I am doing is reviewing things and hope they already know it or can figure it out on their own. How can I spend more time teaching my plans and less time monitoring kids. PS I don't have an assistant.. it so only me trying to manage MY group, a second independent group and kids at seat work.; 8. I am a new 1st year teacher and I'm requesting some things to do on the 1st day of school. I will be teaching an elementary BD class. Other than
