10 Montessori-inspired ways your toddler can help around the house: https://www.mother.ly/child/montessori-ways-your-toddler-can-help-around-the-house
I have found that young children love to help and do "grown-up things" around the house. It may take a little more time at first to have a youngster help but in the end they learn and feel good about what they did. The ideas here are great ways to get started with jobs a young child can successfully do. 7 Random Acts of Kindness Ideas for Kids: https://www.parents.com/parenting/better-parenting/advice/random-acts-of-kindness-ideas-for-kids/
"Kindness is a superpower kids can choose every day to make themselves and others feel good." I like the examples of kindness in this article because they are easy for young children to do and remember how preforming the acts of kindness made them feel. Empathetic Syllabi Review Exercise: https://www.facultyfocus.com/articles/teaching-and-learning/empathetic-syllabi-review-exercise/
This is a great. but basic, idea for a study skills class. Students get several syllabi in the first week of classes but often don't know how to read syllabi, remember or find important information in them, or put the information in the various syllabi together to make a useful calendar for them.

While the summary is not particularly detailed, it emphasizes the importance of early development of language for all children.

Innovating Pedagogy 2019: https://iet.open.ac.uk/file/innovating-pedagogy-2019.pdf
"Exploring new forms of teaching, learning and assessment, to guide educators and policy makers" I especially liked this report because in its forecast of what technology may change over the next ten years, it talks about ways that technology can by used by educators to promote new approaches to education rather than how technology can be used in place of teachers. Celebrate the 100th Day in 100 Ways: https://www.educationworld.com/a_lesson/lesson/lesson149.shtml
Many classrooms celebrate the 100th day of school sometime in January. I especially liked this list of ways to do that because they offer additional ideas beyond the collecting of 100 things. There are activities as well as means to donate items to those in need. Children Are Using Emoji For Digital-Age Language Learning: https://www.wired.com/story/children-emoji-language-learning/
This is an interesting article about a survey the author conducted about young children and their use of emojis. The ending of the article talks about the need for human interaction with young children in order for them to learn. For example, having a person read a book to a youngster is more beneficial than the child watching a video of the book being read. |
