In my field experience in the Head Start, the children have their own notebook and every in the morning, they can write and draw anything they want to. I think it is a good exercise for having their ideas and thoughts.Jihyunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13696127307947402068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681242724951134532.post-84042241112744077732011-09-28T21:59:13.143-07:002011-09-28T21:59:13.143-07:00Working in a day care, I feel like I am constantly...Working in a day care, I feel like I am constantly asking children to "use their words" when they are upset or angry. I never really thought about this before, but using this strategy is really encouraging their communication and literacy skills in a really basic form. By trying to help them to use language instead of crying or physically hurting their friends, they are learning to become literate students.Emily Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466119041979923858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681242724951134532.post-84469366014667363522011-09-28T18:14:33.886-07:002011-09-28T18:14:33.886-07:00Communication could greatly increase as children d...Communication could greatly increase as children develop their literacy skills, especially when children are in an open, caring environment. It is important to help children feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes, because that is the way they learn best.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516155544073583335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681242724951134532.post-85819683294396554862011-09-28T18:09:37.141-07:002011-09-28T18:09:37.141-07:00Language does have many different levels and aspec...Language does have many different levels and aspects that people don't really think about. Learning language is actually a really complex task because it requires so much memorization and logical thinking. Especially when learning how to spell and put words together to make sentences that make sense. Using creativity in language is one of the most difficult and important things for children to learnnicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09892681972251193018noreply@blogger.com
