Question 11/ Puppet Problem
Dear Preschool Teacher,
I am a first year student in the department of
preschool education in the university of Athens. I would appreciate
any ideas or material for a puppet show. The show must be a snapshot
without words but with music.
Thank you in advance.

Question 13/ Too Much Joking
Dear Preschool Teacher,
I currently have a four year old girl. She is very
sweet and funny. That is the problem. She is great. Learns quite
quickly with some things, but others
are a great big joke.
When I give her instructions, she thinks that I am
just kidding. She won't do the work. When I try and enforce the work
rules, she gets upset, and/or laughs like I was joking. How do I get
this little girl to accept my instructions?
Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you.

Question 14/ Desperately seeking cookbook
Dear Preschool Teacher,
A few years ago, I attended a workshop which was a hands on
learning experience that introduced simple "cooking"
projects. Among the experiences I recall were edible
dandelions made from nilla wafers and coconuts. I also
remember a butterfly made of celery, peanut butter, etc..
Each of these stories had a link to a children's book. I remember
The Very Hungry Caterpillar was the link for the butterfly.
I am trying to find the title of the book that was
used at this workshop and I am hoping that maybe you will be able to
help me with that. I would also like to know the author as well,
or ISBN #.
Please let me know if you are familiar with this
resource book in question and maybe would be able to also give me a
contact to buy my own copy.
Thanks

Question 15/ Positive feedback
Dear Preschool Teacher,
I work in a preschool that did not previously have a
report card per say. I am looking for a cute and positive way to
give the children and parents some feed back on how the children
are doing. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks,

Question 16/ Interested in Education
Dear Preschool Teacher,
I have been interested for some time now in going
back to school to become a teacher. I would like to start
out with preschool age children and possibly later
kindergarten. What type of degree/certification is
required? There is a local college that offers a diploma
program in early childhood education, is that enough?
Thanks for your help.

Question 19/ Total Chaos
Dear Preschool Teacher,
I am a pre-school teacher that goes into home
daycares and teaches for an hour of activities. I have been
teaching for 5 years. However I have never been in a daycare
class such as this. The kids are out of control, 6 of them. When
I speak to one or they ask a question everyone scatters,
when I turn to get a book or whatever they hit or push each other
or yell at someone at the top of their lungs. They complain
about what I do and playing games is nearly impossible. I have
put a standard and tell them this is not allowed in class and
send them to the corner if they do this. It does not work and
sometimes some of them openly defy me. It is not only me because
the
daycare provider has a music man come in to play and he
leaves early because of the chaos. I have a job here 3x a week.
Help!!

3-25-00 Question 20/
My 3-year old
Dear Preschool Teacher,
I am an Indian staying in Dubai, UAE. My daughter
turned 3 early this month. The schools in Dubai have a minimum
requirement of a child to be three years old in order for them to
join the school. She will be 3+ by the time the session
starts. She does not speak very clearly, she is not 100%
yet. But she is fast and grasps quickly. She
recognizes most of the alphabets and also colors. I am hesitant
to send her to school this year given her age but on the other
side when I see her picking up things fact I want to send her to
school.
Can you please advise what I should do?
