Here are some teaching strategies that I feel are useful for Early Childhood:

1.Logo-symbol labeling: One way to promote everyday vocabulary is by hoving students verbally label common brands and symbols. 
 
I suggest making this activity more interactive by having the students and their parents take pictures of logos or symbols found around their neighborhood, such as street signs, car logos, or clothing brands then children can bring the photos to the classroom where students can label them as a group. This labeling Practice can add layers of complexity as kids learn


2.Sound Recognition & Matching: This activity will require a few large letters cut out of cardboard and several small but not too Small objects nearby that begin with those letters for example If your letters are 'B' you might have a pile of buttons and feathers start by having the child say the sound that The letter makes. Then encourage the child to find an  And an object beginning with Sound and paste it to the letter.

 
3.Switch Out Activities: Children tend to have short attention Spands so scheduling long lessons is out of the questions to help children to stay focused, try changing out activities 
 and another activity is beginning with a sedentary activity such as listening or reading and then following up with a make lively activity - such as a music lesson or art project It may also help to have a few quick go-to activities that will help kids release a little energy if you find they're to wound up and also recommends posting daily schedule with Class and pictures kids can get excited about each day, then it will be easier help them focus during the more sedentary activities.

 
4.  Start a garden: Whether you have an expansive outdoor space or just a nice ledge by a window a garden can be an excellent way to teach kids about the natural world Growing a plant from seed to maturity can teach children about their own growth, receive stress, and help promote fine motor skills You don't have to be a natural green thumb either There are plenty of easy to grow indoors options out it allows you to der reinforce routine by setting aside a time to regularly check up on the plants progress with your pupils.


 
5.Get the Senses involved: Getting to be still a moment and focus on what they are discovering helps you learn what they know  Importance of encouraging students to use all five senses in science and observation activities and explain when planting a class garden they can discuss how the soil feels and smells and what colors we see in the soil. They talk about how the different plants will taste and what they will live as they grow from a seed into a plant. 


6. Establish Rules: While this may seem like common sense to any teacher. Establishing rules at the beginning of the school year is a great strategy for keeping a calm classroom. setting up a simple rule to begin with, such as keeping your hands to yourself and using inside voices post the rules in a common area so that students will see them every day and be reminding of what's good or bad behavior when a child breaks a classroom rule be sure not to use harsh language.


7. And it can be easy to fall back on the teachers manual or default lessons you may have memories of in schools however for some these can pose problems. Teachers need to be sensitive to children from non-traditional home situations think twice before asking students to draw pictures of their families. Carrying up with inclusive activities may take a lot more time especially beginning of the year when you may not know all your students but it will be worth it when you save a child embarrassment confusion.
