Thursday, 1:00pm to 2:30pm
Monmouth 2
Session 15
Children are natural wigglers, and this energy can be used as a learning experience! This enthusiastic presentation includes dozens of easy to replicate activities that foster language development coupled with kinesthetic learning. Participants will be doing Monday Morning Ready activities that they can immediately use in their work with young children, fostering important skills such as rhythm, repetition and rhyme. Of course, there will be lots of clapping and laughing too! Perfect for those who are looking for new ways to enhance the language to literacy connection for children ages two to seven! Activities that are age appropriate for stimulating auditory awareness, listening skills, language use and oral motor skills will be presented in this lively fast paced session that is hands-on, user friendly and fun. Participants will be actively involved in dozens of new activities that include props, costumes, puppets and visuals designed to enhance oral language skills in young children.
