Tuesday Teacher Tip
I teach Pre-K at Hillsdale Elementary. One of the skills we teach in Pre-K are position words. These words are: next to, in, over, on, through, under, etc. I use wooden napkin rings found at a garage sale, and small figures.
Each child gets a wooden ring and a small figure. As I tell the students what to do with the figure, they show what the position word means by demonstrating the word using the ring and the figure. This is a hands-on activity and enjoyed by all the students. (This skill is best taught in a small group of 10).
