What a great method for communication from child to teacher, or child to parents. Instead of forcing children to communicate through spoken word, a picture can communicate words the child doesn't know yet. I love this idea.Caylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17658573478217347941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-39671114694952123.post-7781220360092981042011-09-08T06:48:32.863-07:002011-09-08T06:48:32.863-07:00I think in every aspect of a child’s life it is im...I think in every aspect of a child’s life it is important for family and teachers to observe the child. Through this observation teachers and family can find out so much about how children learn. They can see the symbols this child is using to create their literacy.Cassy/ECE Studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05677479906238751880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-39671114694952123.post-86896694187712642011-09-08T04:01:36.300-07:002011-09-08T04:01:36.300-07:00I agree that it is important for children to learn...I agree that it is important for children to learn to express themselves through art, music, drama, etc. I think this sort of happens naturally, especially with sounds like "choo choo" that children pick up on. As we have talked about in previous classes, it is also important for teachers to provide multiple means of representation in their lessons and in the projects students work on. (For example, giving the option of drawing a picture in addition to writing. At this point in their literacy development, children can probably express themselves more fully through drawing a picture.)Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516155544073583335noreply@blogger.com
