I taught 3-4 year olds for a year but it was a class of 9 kids. I �m now applying for a job to a Nursery class in a new school with 25 kids, four of them 2,5 years old. There �s a range of beginners to native speakers. They have 4 teaching assistants, but 2 of them don �t take part in the teaching process but just help out as nannies. They will also have another teacher coming to work for 75% of the time, so we will be splitting the class in half. The other 25% I will have to be with the kids on my own with the assistants � help.
My question is could you help me with some ideas for an open lesson with 25 very young kids, which is a part of the job application process?
I know that there should be plenty of short activities with some songs, music and hands on activities. But how will I be able to organize so many kids that don �t know me and might be either too shy or too naughty? The three year olds are so unpredictable...
Any ideas will be much appreciated!
