1) To make it easier, you can write an introduction letter to give to each family within the room, telling them about yourself. You could also make a sign to stick in the room/at the door introducing yourself. You can make name tags for each child as well as yourself. You can prepare group time which you can talk to the preschoolers about yourself and they can tell you about them etc.

2) Help the children to settle by gathering them to read a book (group story)... Tell them that you have a fun activity planned that you need their help in...

Hope this helps,

The chlidren enjoing your company and have engadged in play with no more distress. You deside to meet rest of the children. You explain to the group that . The children start to cry out say no no no

What you will do :

Ask children to make a choice that they want to come with you or joint with other children in the room and play together.

The children decide to come with you. After going arround children take you to mat to meet 3 children playing there. Unfortunatly in their hurry they knock down the builing the 3 children were making. The children uellong and one child picks up blocks and throw it at the children and you.

How you going to deel with this situation?
Have yo be gentle and calm. Applogise to the children and explain that happed accidently. Support them to rebuilt it.

How will you do this respectng the children still at the tables engaded in play?

I cant find answer for this question.
