BLOOMINGTON, Minn., CHARLOTTE, N.C. and PETERBOROUGH, N.H., Oct. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Kindergarten teachers are always looking for new ways to keep learning engaging and fun. In a new and exciting workshop celebrating all things kindergarten and developed by kindergarten superstar Kim Adsit, teachers ready to laugh, sing, and learn will gain new twists on timeless strategies. Teach It: Tried & True, Fun & New with Kim & Crew! will be held December 7–8, 2017 in Bloomington, MN and December 11–12, 2017 in Charlotte, NC.
This two-day, deep dive into inspirational, instructional, classroom, and behavior management strategies will be led by a trio of popular and influential kindergarten teachers and bloggers:
- Kim Adsit has secrets to share and wisdom to impart as an award-winning kindergarten teacher with a 28-year track record. She is the co-author of five books, including Bookmaking Bonanza and Read with Ease, and is author of the highly popular blog, KinderGals.
- Deedee Wills is a classroom innovator with deep experience as an early childhood educator and literacy coach. It's no surprise she was named WalMart's Teacher of the Year. She shares how to lighten up learning and bring content areas to life through her blog, Mrs. Wills Kindergarten.
- Adam Peterson has been teaching and mesmerizing kindergartners for 12 years. Teachers flock to the Teachers Learn Too YouTube™ channel he created and the #TeachersTalkToo online show he hosts.
"Just when you think there's nothing new under the sun, Kim, Deedee, and Adam arrive with their creative and innovative ways to jazz up centers, science, and other content areas in a standards-based, kindergarten classroom," SDE program developer Kymra Kurinskas says.
Teachers will laugh, sing, and learn as they discover how to establish a rock-solid foundation in early literacy, maximize play-based practices, and build independent students through routines, grouping strategies, arrangement, and flexible seating. In addition, they'll try out hands-on activities for developing higher-order thinking in math and science and engaging students in the standards.
"Both new and veteran teachers are invited to celebrate kindergarten with Kim and her crew who will reveal dozens of time-tested strategies and fun, new teaching twists… all in the name of kindergarten cool," Kurinskas says.
