Also, understanding how many days there are from now until an event in the future will not take place until a child is between the ages of 7 and 10. According to research, calendar time for preschoolers and even kindergarteners is not really meaningful.
It can take years for our little ones to understand what day today is, and not to mention what day yesterday was, and what day tomorrow will be. Understanding how a calendar works is a difficult concept for our little ones. Also, on a daily basis, as educators, we are given the opportunity to discuss how we dress and the safety precautions to take during different weather conditions.Ĭalendar (Days of the week and months of the year posters.) When the weather is discussed on a daily basis, reasoning skills are being promoted, and our little ones are being encouraged to ask questions regarding the weather. In a preschool setting, discussing the weather for the day is always a part of the morning Circletime. As homeschooling parents and teachers of young children, we are in the best position to share our knowledge about the weather with our little ones developing a lifelong interest in the world around them.
When learning about the weather on a daily basis, young children are learning key vocabulary in order for them to be able to talk about the weather. Many children are often times afraid of thunder and lightning but love playing in muddy puddles and will spend forever looking at a beautiful rainbow. Understanding weather is a tricky concept for our little ones. Weather impacts the everyday lives of people around the world. Setting up a learning area or schoolroom for toddlers is super simple! I will be sharing what I believe are essential resources to have in place at the beginning of the school year based on my experience in the classroom and the resources I am currently using with my toddler twin girls at home along with our thematic resources. Preschool charts and posters are beneficial educational tools when teaching any young child a particular concept or the key learning areas that are covered in the early years. Now that I am homeschooling, one of the questions I have been receiving a lot is, “ What charts or posters do I need to have in place when homeschooling my toddler?” No matter how beautiful the resources were that were ordered, I could never place them all on the walls of my classroom! Overstimulation is a thing, and teachers know we only gradually add useful material and resources to the classroom so that they have meaning to the children in our classrooms.
A place where planned and incidental learning was constantly taking place because of the planning, beautiful decorations and resources that were strategically organised in the classroom just to broaden the horizon of the little ones. A home away from home, where little ones could explore. When I was in the classroom, I was super excited to get into my freshly painted classroom to decorate as it would be a second home for my students and me. Getting off to a smooth start requires a lot of intentional planning. The beginning of the school year is a fun and exciting time, whether at home or in a classroom.
