Thank you all so much for joining us each morning via google hangouts for morning meetings. It is wonderful how you keep the children engaged as they have their online circle time- singing along and clapping. Thank you, parents and caregivers. We love seeing everyone!
Buenos Dias Ninas/Ninos
This week during our morning meeting we sang our good morning song in Spanish. Exposing children to different languages has many benefits. Children who are exposed to more than one language are more often able to learn faster, improve problem solving skills and creativity as well as make a connection with different cultures.
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes….
This week we focused on our body parts as helping babies develop their self awarness is crutial. Infants begin showing their curiosity about their body parts by staring at their hands, placing their fingers and their toes up to their mouth. Body awarness help them understand how to relate to objects as well as people around them.
Read aloud with Theresa
Reading out loud to our children can promote emergent literacy and language development. It helps children become familiar with books and accustomed to listening and focusing. It will also give them an early awareness of the art of reading. Reading aloud stimulates language skills, cognitive thinking skills, and enhances memory. Reading books aloud can also help build a child's vocabulary.
