  Case: Transitioning
My pre-kindergarten students struggle with transitions. 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!)
I would practice the transition. Use the few students who are pretty good at transitioning to help you. If there are none use your para. Play the music and demonstrate what good transitioning looks like. Then, have the whole class participate. Reward/praise those who follow through. Even if it is just a verbal praise or a skittle, it goes a long way.

Comments: This is what we do in our PRE-K class. They need this to be modeled for them. They aren't going to just understand what you mean.
