Summer break is almost over for most of us and the new year is right around the corner. If you are like me you are preparing for this to be the best year ever! If you are transitioning to, or starting the year, in an ECSE classroom you may be a little nervous about all the changes that are bound to happen.

In this week's episode I am chatting with Ashley from Spedtacular Days about her experiences moving from middle school to a Pre-K classroom. With her 11 years of experience she is giving strategies that work and will help you support your younger students.

In this episode you will learn:

• How to make Play based learning work in your classroom

• Tips for keeping the younger students focused and learning

• How to connect with parents from the very beginning of the year

• How to maximize the use of your Para

• How to create a schedule that works

• Ideas for finding new toys without spending a ton of money
