Morning Meeting
This week we continued singing familiar songs!
For our young learners, repetition is key!
Repeating words, a concept or a skill allows your child to form an understanding and even attempt to imitate it. Similarly, with physical skills, mathematical concepts, and social skills, your child will pick up ideas that are repeated and explained to them.
This week we sang “One Little Finger,” “Baby Shark,” and “If You‘re and You Know It.”
“ One Little Finger”
“BABY SHARK”
"If You're Happy and You Know It"
Counting 1..2..3
This week we introduced our infants students to numbers and counting.
INTERESTING FACT:
Children as young as 14 months can understand the concept of counting long before they learn the true meaning of "one, two, three," scientists say.
US researchers say toddlers who hear counting out loud appear to be able to recognize quantities.
The Importance of Story Time
Storytime teaches children about communication, introduces concepts such as numbers, letters, colors, shapes, builds listening, memory, and vocabulary skills. Books teaches our young friends about the world that surrounds them.
We dearly miss everyone and hope these recordings foster the relationship that we all have developed. Please feel free to visit our Instagram account to see all of the stories read by Theresa.
Interesting Fact:
By the time babies reach their first birthday, they learn all the sounds needed to speak their native language. The more stories we read aloud, the more words our babies will hear, and the easier they will develop their own communication skills.
Here are some of the books we have read this week:
"Jungle Colors," Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes," "How Do Dinosaurs Eat Cookies," Baby Touch and Feel Animals," "The Secret Birthday Message."
“JUNGLE COLORS”
“PETE THE CAT- I LOVE MY WHITE SHOES”
“THE SECRET BIRTHDAY MESSAGE”
