Ctbaker in the acres: 14 Lovely Days: Day 2

Ctbaker in the acres: 14 Lovely Days: Day 2
Well, we've been living in the land of the crud all week and the last 2 days I've had all three home sick. Cabin fever is setting in! I tried really hard to keep the peace today. I let the boys pick their "territory". Any who... on to Day 2. My random act for the day originally involved making a special snack together, but I didn't think sharing the germs any further was a very good idea. Origami Monster Bookmarks! But when I got to the site from where it was originally pinned, I realized my Japanese was a little rusty. I tried to photograph step-by-step so you could follow along...

I am always trying to come up with new ways to keep learning fun, active and relevant for my preschooler. My daughter enjoys games and she loves to sing and dance so I knew she would have a great time playing MUSICAL ALPHABET (similar to Musical Chairs) and it would be a fun way to practice letter recognition and test her phonological awareness of the corresponding letter sounds. It's a quick & easy, no fuss game - which are my favorite! If it doesn't require a lot of prep or materials, then we are more likely find time to play. Here's how we play - 1. 4. I even got the Oldest Diva involved in the game. I LOVE when you can sneak in some learning like this and they don't even realize they are actually learning while playing. :) This can easily be played in small groups & adapted to a school setting. Have fun practicing the alphabet! Bern

Les T.A.P (Temps d’Activités Périscolaires) | C'est arrivé près de chez moi Tout d’abord, je tiens à préciser que je n’appartiens à aucun bord politique tel qu’il soit, à part peut-être celui du bon sens, de la tolérance et du développement culturel. Et que je m’exprime à titre personnel. Depuis Septembre 2013, je conçois et anime 3 fois par semaine (le Lundi, Mardi et Jeudi de 15h30 à 16h30) un temps d’activité périscolaire. Et depuis tout ce temps, je n’entends qu’un vaste mécontentement largement relayé par un engouement médiatique contre cette réforme. "C’est n’importe quoi", "ça coûte trop cher", "c’est de la garderie", "ça ne durera pas", "les enfants sont épuisés", ceci n’est qu’une infime partie de toutes les critiques prononcées par les nombreux opposants aux T.A.P, qu’ils soient politiques, parents ou enseignants. Ce qui est toujours étonnant dans ces reportages "objectifs", c’est qu’on y entends très rarement la parole des enfants, pourtant les premiers concernés par ce projet éducatif et culturel. Cette première période a été riche d’enseignements.

Wikki Stix and Finger Lights I love finding materials (even if they're a little "gadgety") that help young readers make sense of print. For years now, I've been using Wikki Stix and Finger Lights with K/1 kids in small reading groups. The Wikki Stix are nothing more than colorful waxy strips that can be easily cut, bent, pinched, rolled, applied to paper (and removed, and applied, and removed, and applied...) without needing to be thrown out. It lasts forever. (And, it's priced as if it lasts forever. If you'd like a less expensive version, try "Bend-a-Roos." Matthew stretched out the red piece a little bit while the book was at home. It was originally just under the -es ending. A pack of "Wikki Stix" comes in a variety of colors. One pack will last a long time. Another discovery I made came after a dinner with my family at a Japanese steak house. {Take a sheet of foil, roll it, twist it... now it's ready to be shaped!}
