Classroom management in kindergarten is always difficult to get under control. In my class, I have 26 five- and six-year-olds. They all love moving, talking, singing, and dancing. When I found the book MY FIRST ACTION RHYMES, I read it and got very excited. In this poetry book, the teacher can use the different finger and hand plays as brain breaks for the students. The curriculum in kindergarten is getting more rigorous. My students are learning for longer periods of time without a break. Sometimes my students need a short two to three minute stretch to refocus their brains. I can use the rhymes in this book to help my students receive their much needed brain breaks. Overall, I think this book is excellent to use in the classroom. There really aren't any access features or an author, it is a compilation book. However, I will use this book in my class. ( )
