| Abstract: | Being a teacher in a kindergarten is not as easy as it sounds. It is by far an easy job where patience, concentration and clear pedagogical goals should be definitely your allies when teaching. With the right method, you can introduce several subjects to kindergarten pupils even at this young age. An interdisciplinary approach would make the classes much more attractive and the variety of topics can be improved continuously. For example, when teaching the alphabet to kindergarten pupils, the teacher can help in the recognition process of letters’ shapes and sounds through various associations with other things, objects, animals or other creatures from nature which can later be associated and expanded in further discussions with connections about different features that can be extracted from other subjects like Biology, Geography, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, etc. Whenever the teacher explains the nature to the pupils, by describing the phenomenon, the transitions of seasons, of days and nights this actually prepares the children for later learning of more advanced scientific concepts. Describing the shapes, the colors, the sizes, positions and distances can represent valuable tools for children to identify objects with similar features. With the usage of flags, national hymns, maps, globes, historical little stories and other important cultural events around the world the level of understanding would increase in the classes to follow. |
