Hi! I'm Michelle Gilbert, I teach in Matawan-Aberdeen, NJ. I have been teaching #PreK for 22 years. Teaching PreK makes me feel like Peter Pan....I never have to grow up. Everyday is filled with fun, creativity, silliness & adventure. I am excited to share our classroom!

We did a festive Graphic Practice today and used our knowledge of "around close" for the snowballs and "bowls" and "across" to make the face and arms. The snow-people turned out great! #toolsofthemind #teaching #school #earlychildhood #education

So many literacy skills are learned during Make-Believe Play Planning. It is so helpful to teachers because we are able to use student's ZPD to know what specific scaffolds they are currently working on in writing. #preschool #prek #school #ToolsoftheMind

In the Treat Shop today, students practiced counting by making sundaes and ice cream cones. The customers enjoyed a book book while they waited for their ice cream order to be ready. #preschool #play #earlychildhood #teaching #ToolsoftheMind

We divide the class in small groups and they engage in games and playful learning. The teacher monitors and guides each group. Dentro de las actividades diarias se juego en sala ,se divide en grupos pequeños todos juegan diferentes ,y las educadoras solo guían a cada grupo.

"Well, I am the mom and mom's like hot sauce. But not for the baby! She would go blech!" The convos in the fancy restaurant are the best. When kids really get into their roles they are so engaged. It is amazing to see how their play has evolved since the beginning of the year.
