Fantastic Frogs: A PreK Singing, Counting, and Drawing Session
Class experience
This interactive one-time class will begin with a hello song to greet each learner by name before moving on to a frog-themed song designed to help us practice our counting, adding, and subtraction skills to five. We will then learn another silly frog-themed song that is common in early childhood speech therapy sessions and helps students to practice imitating various positions of the lips and tongue (an important foundational skill for isolating letter sounds). These songs will be enhanced...
-Students will listen to and enjoy a series of sing-along songs. -Students will practice their counting and simple addition and subtraction up to five. -Students will practice following a set of simple directions to create a frog drawing. -Students will practice listening and turn-taking in a group.
I hold my MS in Early Childhood Education from Wheelock College at Boston University, and I am professionally certified in Early Childhood, Moderate Disabilities, English as a Second Language, and Sheltered English Immersion in the state of Massachusetts. I have ten years of teaching experience at the early childhood level in a wide variety of racially, ethnically, linguistically, and neurologically diverse settings--lab, private, public, home-based, non-profit, co-op, and virtual--throughout the Greater Boston area. As co-founder of the National SEED Project Emily Style so adeptly summarized in her 1988 essay "Curriculum as Window and Mirror", curriculum should function "both as window and as mirror, in order to reflect and reveal most accurately both a multicultural world and the student herself or himself". This means that it is intrinsically important for ALL educators--including those who may not be members of a marginalized group themselves--to expose every student, regardless of their personal identity markers, to a multiplicity of cultures and ways of being in the world. To ensure that I am up to this crucial task, I have continuously pursued and successfully completed the following graduate-level coursework related to multicultural, multilingual, inclusive, and antiracist instruction over the past seven years: * Racial and Cultural Identities-Wheelock College at Boston University * Introduction to Inclusive Early Childhood Education Settings-Wheelock College at Boston University * Effective Sheltered English Instruction: Second Language Acquisition-Wheelock College at Boston University * Impact of Special Needs: Early Childhood-Wheelock College at Boston University * Mathematical Learning for Diverse Learners-Wheelock College at Boston University * Becoming a More Equitable Educator: Mindsets and Practices-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Students should come to class with the following items: -blank paper -pencil with eraser -any other desired drawing/writing implements (crayons, markers, pencils, etc.)
