I teach Kindergarten (ages 5 and 6) in a day school. When a student is finished his/her work I try to give them an activity based on what we are learning but a step up. For example; I am teaching the alef-bet and nekudot, for one of the brighter boys in the class I had him write the alef-bet with different nekudot, my class is not writing yet. Or when we learned colors, He wrote the words in Hebrew using the corresponding color.

what exactly is a work portfolio? What do you put in it? how does it help the children learn and grow?

Hi, I teach Kindergarten (age 5,6) any ideas what to do when you have extra time, yet nothing to teach!! When there are no Chagim, I find myself with extra time (some days). Any ideas?
