To help the preschool run smoother I think we could've been more prepared with the agenda for the day. For example we could've prepared more filler activities for circle time, and been more aware of how much time everything would take so we don't have downtime. Some other problems I saw was pick-up got a little hectic, we would get confused as to which kids were leaving, so it caused some problems as to who was getting what kid, and then the child wouldn't be helped to a car because no one got them ready to leave. Other than that, I think we had a good week.
Some things that I learned about being a teacher this trimester was that some of the preschoolers had to warm up to everyone again because we had been gone for so long, so we had to be patient with them and help them to be friendly with the other preschoolers again. Another thing i've learned is that since we have some new teachers and people who i've never had to work with before, so it was a learning experience for me to see how they are a leader to the preschoolers. This first week back was awesome!
