Re: must haves for kindergarten
whiteboard
word wall (you can make this on your own)
classroom classroom calendar including weather, birthday, and who lost a tooth graph. Also count the days of the school with a growing number line or HTO chart (or both) You can find cute songs that go along with each part.
A behavior mod system (we do RYOG cards- aka "stoplight")
Clear routines and expectations (you will be shocked at how much they don't know compared to 2nd graders- from lining up to how to sit on the rug- your first month will be reviewing routines over and over (and over) again!
We have little feet on the floor so they know where to stand- each pair of feet has a number so the kids know which number they are.
A center chart
Kindergarten is so much fun, good luck!
