概要

Welcome to The Kindergarten Toolbox Podcast, your go-to guide for creating calmer classrooms and more confident writers in the wonderfully unique world of kindergarten.


I’m Amy Murray — former kindergarten teacher, Type C “organized-in-piles” human, and vanilla-latte enthusiast. After years of helping teachers streamline their classroom routines with tips and tools that actually make sense for 5- and 6-year-olds, I created this podcast to support you with the practical strategies you’ve been craving.


Each episode is short, actionable, and designed to help you:

✔ simplify classroom management

✔ reduce behavior chaos with systems that stick

✔ teach writing in a way that meets beginning writers where they are

✔ build routines that make your day flow

✔ use visuals, tools, and expectations that really work in K


Whether you’re a brand-new kindergarten teacher or a seasoned pro looking for clarity and calm, you’ll find step-by-step support to help you feel more confident and in control.


Because kindergarten isn’t just the new first grade, it’s a world all its own, and you deserve tools that actually work.
