First School

First-School Preschool Activities and Crafts
First-School is a website that offers teachers for preschool to kindergarten worksheets and activities that can be used in the classroom.  The website breaks the worksheets down into different types of themes. For example the first themes that you see on the page are: First Alphabet, First Animals, First Holidays & Events, and even preschool in Spanish.  I really liked that this website had a Spanish section, because with many Spanish speaking students in today’s classrooms, I think that teaching young students Spanish is also just as important as teaching these Spanish speaking students English.  The worksheets in both the English speaking section and the Spanish speaking section match, so it would be easy to work with both. But I also liked that there were many different kinds of worksheets to go with each theme, so you can teach the theme in ways that help each student. There is also a section for crafts that can go along with what is taught in the classroom, for example the website includes a craft on Community Helpers, which is a common theme taught in Preschool and Kindergarten.  The website is perfect for teachers who need worksheets that go along with the lessons that are being taught in the classroom. All in all, the website is nice for when as a new teacher or even an older one, you run out of ideas and this can help keep each school year nice and fresh by providing new ideas to teach. Also, these worksheets can be printed out for extra work at home for mom and dad to help their children what was learned in the classroom that day.

  1. I think it's great that this tries to fuse together foreign language at an early age - just what the kids need!
