A preschool teacher once told of a time when she was teaching about colors. She had a box of different colored balls. One child was convinced that all the balls were blue, even the red ones. Instead of just correcting him, she explored why he thought that. It turned out he had a color - blindness in his family and was a bit confused. She then used this as an opportunity to teach the whole class about different types of vision and how we all see things a bit differently.
A preschool teacher I knew was very impatient. When the kids asked her simple questions, she would roll her eyes and give short, rude answers. It made the kids feel like they couldn't approach her.
I knew of a preschool teacher who was always on her phone instead of interacting with the children. She'd just let the kids play by themselves without any guidance. Once, a little boy fell and hurt himself, but she didn't notice right away because she was too busy texting. This is really unacceptable as preschool teachers are supposed to be vigilant and take care of the kids.
One interesting preschool short story is 'The Three Little Pigs'. It's about three pigs who build different houses - straw, sticks, and bricks. The big bad wolf tries to blow their houses down, but only the brick house stands strong. Another is 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. Goldilocks enters the bears' house, tries their porridge, chairs, and beds until she finds the ones that are just right. And 'Little Red Riding Hood' is also great. A little girl in a red hood goes to visit her grandma and meets a big bad wolf on the way.
I heard about a preschool teacher who was reading a storybook. There was a picture of a big, scary monster in it. One of the kids shouted, 'That monster looks like my dad when he doesn't shave!' The whole class burst into laughter, including the teacher. It was such a spontaneous and funny comment.
A preschool teacher had a box of toys for the kids to play with during free time. There was a toy that made a really strange noise when you pressed a button. One child found it and started pressing the button over and over again. All the other kids gathered around and started dancing to the strange sound. The teacher just watched and laughed at how creative the kids were being.
Sure. There's a story of a preschool teacher who noticed a girl was always left out during playtime. The teacher started including the girl in her own games, and soon other kids joined in. It was really heartwarming to see the girl's face light up as she made friends.
One preschool Christmas cookie story could be about the kids making cookies shaped like Santa. They had so much fun using the cookie cutters and decorating with red and white icing. It was a mess but a very happy mess.
One preschool Hebrew school story could be about a little boy who was very excited to learn the Hebrew alphabet. He made up a song to remember the letters and taught it to all his classmates.
One story could be about a preschool where they made their own mini New Year's Eve countdown clocks. The kids painted cardboard to look like clocks and then used movable hands. As the clock neared midnight (pretend midnight for the preschoolers), they all gathered around, made some noise with little noisemakers they made from recycled materials, and shouted 'Happy New Year!' It was a simple yet super fun way for them to experience the New Year celebration.
One example could be 'The Three Little Pigs'. The ending sound of 'huff' and 'puff' is quite fun for preschoolers. Another is 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. The repeated sound of 'too big', 'too small' and 'just right' at the end can be engaging. Also, 'The Little Red Hen' ends with the satisfying sound of 'not sharing with those who didn't help' which has a strong moral ending sound for kids.
