Interesting Books:
“Einstein Never Used Flashcards: How Our Children Really Learn--and Why They Need to Play More and Memorize Less” by Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, Kathy Hirsh-Pasek Ph.D., and Diane Eyer

I like to flip through this book to brush up on my education oriented vocabulary.
Useful Websites:
This website is great for anyone looking for children’s songs. You can search for certain songs, full lyrics to songs and you can also listen to the melodies of those songs.
This website is a great tool for novice teachers and veteran teachers alike. It helps you create and edit your classroom layout. You can choose your classroom’s shape, furniture, and even choose individual student seating. I liked using this feature mid-year after I had gotten to know my students. I was able to test out seating arrangements without removing nametags or changing chairs around.
We bought Einstein Never Used Flashcards when we had our first child and loved it. It is great for first-time parents. It highlights the importance of play and hands- on activities. I recommend it to our parents all the time.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kiddles resource. I will definitely use it as a resource in my 3 year old classroom.
