During transitions, we have music to help with the transition, but the kids want to dance around instead of make the transition. Does anyone have any suggestions for some other transitioning techniques? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Beginning the school year I implement transitions that are part of our "routine" and this continues until students are aware of the daily schedule. The transitions remain the same. Routine is key for these students and an important factor in classroom management. I always give my students a heads-up that we are about to begin something new. We have a Bumble Bee song that we sing when transitioning to the circle time rug. The students sing it, sit down and place their hands in their laps. We do the same when lining up to go outside. There is a learning and teaching preschoolers website that is helpful as well (learningandteachingwithpreschoolers.blogspot.com).                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is an excellent solution.
