Week 1
“Both literacy development and play involve creating, planning, sequencing, shaping, communicating, predicting, synthesizing, participating, producing and evaluating. Both involve representations of the child’s feelings, thoughts, and actions and representations of actual and imaginary worlds. Expression of self is heightened; yet incorporation of other’s perspectives is also encouraged. Literacy development and play can promote understanding and acceptance of others and provide safe boundaries to examine who one is and who one wants to be.” Read, Play, Learn!: Storybook Activities for Young Children, by Toni W. Linder, Ed. D., p. 17.
HOME ACTIVITY SUGGESTIONS
1) Home Activity Week #1: "I am a storyteller . . ."
- Record your child’s storytelling whenever possible! (phone recording)
- We’d love for you to share one of the stories at gathering time in Week 2 class. (Bring your short story cued and ready to play on your device.)
- Sing the songs “Seesaw,” “Swinging,” and “Slide Down” while pretending to play at the park..
2) Continue to listen to your Class Music
This gives your child comfort and familiarity, which allows for growth & development in a new environment.
3) Please try to arrive 10 minutes before class to allow time for a potty stop and transitioning. Be prepared to enter a few minutes PRIOR to class time. There is a MARKED difference with children who enter together and have plenty of time for transitioning, and those who arrive as the class is about to begin or after it has begun.
- Please let your educator know if early arrival is a challenge for you and she can help you with transitioning ideas.
- Please call your educator if you will need to miss a class.
