The fall of 2019 found my family a bit hectic with my husband having two smaller surgeries and those both needed some recovery time. I hope that you all are still out there and ready to talk Early Childhood.
Here we are in 2020 ready for the second half of the school year. What new visions do you have for this new year?
I say it is a year to refocus on best practices for the children we care for and love. Are you with me?
Let us focus on good literature, music, classroom management, science, math, outdoor times, creating mystery and excitement for learning and adventures!
Look what I purchased at Costco, over the holidays.
Yes, it is another good Bruce book by Ryan T. Higgins
If you don't know Bruce, he is a bear with a bit of attitude. As we start this year, ask yourself, "Am I a bear with attitude?" Is that attitude a positive one? Is it a bit negative? Take a deep breath and tell yourself the truth. Use this year of clear vision to turn things to be positive. I say, enjoy the children in your classroom, be kind and helpful to your teaching partners or family members and try and be a little child yourself now and then --- laugh, play, and just have fun!
Go out and buy the Bruce books or something else new to you. How can you make this come alive for the children in your life? Can you have them bring a stuffed animal to hold while your ready it? Can you find stuffed animals to include in dramatic play? Can you chart who has been in a big storm? Can you make a storm discovery bottle? Hands-on learning, and life connecting activities are great student based practices we can use to reach children.
On your mark, get set go! This is a new year. Kindness and helpfulness are always a good choices. Be positive, it goes a long way in keeping your classroom a great place to be a child and to keeping you healthy.
Wishing you well,
Teacher Debbie 🌟
