edWeb: A professional online community for educators Keeping Play in Kindergarten After two rewarding years of teaching pre-K, I felt ready for the new challenge of teaching kindergarten. I knew there would be some substantial changes as I moved from the world of pre-K to the more traditional K-12 school model. After all, DC kindergartners are expected to master the more rigorous Common Core standards which include the requirement for students to “read emergent-reader texts with purpose and understanding.” These were all changes I had anticipated and even welcomed. This balancing act I performed as a kindergarten teacher was on my mind when I read a new study that finds evidence that delaying kindergarten entry by a year can lead to lower levels of inattention and hyperactivity among children. Shouldn’t kindergarten classrooms be providing just this sort of playful environment necessary to develop emotional regulation? Some researchers suggest that my experience teaching kindergarten was not an anomaly.
KINDERWORLD Is Kindergarten Ready for the Child? | Investigating Choice Time: Inquiry, Exploration, and Play Have you ever had a parent ask you if her/his child is ready for kindergarten? Have you ever heard a teacher complain about a child who doesn’t have enough academic skills to be in kindergarten? I’ve been wondering a lot about these two questions. Checking online, I found one after the other websites-advising parents about kindergarten readiness. Some sites discuss the pros and cons of redshirting, keeping a child back from kindergarten so as to give (usually) him an extra ‘edge’ in the grade and also giving him time to develop the ability to sit still for extended periods – time for hours of reading, writing, phonics and math. My big question is this: Shouldn’t kindergarten be ready for all children? Shouldn’t teachers (and administrators, of course) understand that within this kindergarten age group there’s a wide range of development, physically, socially and intellectually? Why not introduce an inquiry into the names of classmates? This is what kindergarten should be.
