Week of the Young Child: April 13-17, 2020
Celebrate the Week of the Young Child with us this week as we look at the importance of the early years as learning years. We encourage you to say "Thank you" to the childcare providers and early childhood educators whose work is so important! And parents - we celebrate you, because you are your child's FIRST teacher!
The below links offer some great resources for parents as well as early childhood teachers. Each day this week has a special theme.
Family Friday:
"Engaging and celebrating families is at the heart of supporting our youngest learners. NAEYC applauds family members’ role as young children’s first and most important teachers." --NAEYC.org
Artsy Thursday:
"Think, problem solve, create! Children develop creativity, social skills and fine motor skills with open-ended art projects where they can make choices, use their imaginations, and create with their hands. On Artsy Thursday celebrate the joy and learning children experience when engaged in creative art making. Use any materials—from crayons to paint, clay to crafts!" --NAEYC.org
Work Together Wednesday:
"When children build together they explore math and science concepts and develop their social and early literacy skills. Children can use any building material—from a fort of branches on the playground to a block city in the classroom, or a hideaway made from couch pillows at home." --NAEYC.org
Tasty Tuesday:
