Answer 1

well you should tell them stories don't be too hard on them! you should intruduce your self and just ask what they want to do(nessary ones!)! and if they have too much then they will have a vote one for the boys only and one for the girls only!

Answer 2

I am also a preschool teacher and I have a few little tricks that worked for myself and my students. I made up questions and printed them onto small cards. I then put the cards into a med.size gift bag. and let each student pick one out at circle time. When we go around the circle greeting each other, I ask each student to come and stand beside me or just stand where they are and I ask them the question and ask them to tell the rest of the class the answer. It makes them feel important in class, and also lets me and everyone else know something about them. Sometimes it takes me to go first , and the kids think that's great that I tell them something about myself. The questions I use are something like: What is your favorite story, What do you like to play with at home, Do you have any pets, and tell us about them. Stuff like that.  Also I found that the book "The Kissing Hand" works really well for separation anxiety.

Answer 3

Children love games so make a game out of it.  Most are scared being away from mom and dad for the first time.  Play "Can you find" games like "can you find me the reading area"  then the kids all go to the reading area and you can explain that this is the area where you all will be doing story time.  Or "where is the art station" and show them different colors and things you will be doing.   Show them the time out area and the bathroom area.  This will make them feel a bit comfortable know their surroundings.
