“Awareness” and “accessibility” were my two takeaways from Ms. Reba’s presentation. We have to become more aware of children who are hard or hearing or deaf. We cannot assume the child’s needs, we have to become aware and accommodate to their needs! #harcumeedu120

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

What was your one big take-away from today's presentation: Effective Communication with Children Who Are Deaf/Hard of Hearing by Reba Dell'Angelo? #naeyc #inclusion #harcumedu120

@HarcumECE @nictheteacher @DrRicevuto @ProfCCarlson @gothartseducatr @dudleynatasha18 Congratulations Nicole!! 🥳

For my theme, I chose National Pretzel Day 🥨! What I learned while creating and planning my theme was what children will learn from my activity. Yes the children will have fun, but it’s important to recognize children will learn! #harcumedu120

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

Theme days that were created and planned by the students in EDU 120. #harcumedu120 @AmirahEce

I support the ASL community and observe the ways everyone can be celebrate American Sign Language 🤟! Awareness and accessibility are opportunities for everyone to know and learn! #ASLDay #SignLanguage

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

What I will do is sing a circle time song with the children, that way they will know that they stop what they are doing, gather on the carpet, and I will sing their name for circle time! #harcumedu120

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

What will you do as a transitional activity with children to get them from one activity to another during the day?#harcumedu120

One takeaway from Ms. Elizabeth’s presentation was from the moment babies are born, they are already learning! That documentary was fascinating to me because babies brains are already working. From the age 0-3, the brain is on a role! #harcumedu120

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

What was one take-away from Elizabeth's presentation? #harcumedu120 @FirstUpEarlyEd

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

Today, I learned that story boxes provide so much engagement with children. As Dr. Ricevuto was reading the story, she was enthusiastic and excited when speaking to us. All teachers should enjoy reading stories to children! I also learned about Novel Effect! #harcumedu120

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

What did you learn about story boxes and read alouds today in class? #dragonslovetacos #readaloud #storyboxes #harcumedu120

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

We need classroom rules with children because it give them a sense of what to do and have to behave as the teacher says the rules repeatedly every day. It’s even bette when the class rules are posted so it is a reminder for the kids! #harcum120

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

Why do we need classroom rules with preschool children? #harcumedu120

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

Routines and schedules are important for children because they have an idea of what goes on in the classroom every day. Once the routines stay consistent and the schedule is posted on the board, children know is going to happen! #harcumedu120

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

Why are routines and schedules so important for children? #harcumedu120 @FirstUpEarlyEd @childrenfirstpa

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

Today’s class went great! I enjoyed every part of it. What stuck with me today was the behavior discussion. The word “behavior” isn’t meant to be used negatively for students, it is used in many ways in the classroom. #harcumedu120

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

What stuck with you today in Classroom Management class EDU 120? #harcumedu120

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

One takeaway I learned from Elizabeth Ozer’s presentation was how important advocacy is in ECE. It’s very important to advocate for our teachers, families, and students in centers and schools in all areas! We can use our voices to help them. #harcumedu202

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

What was one takeaway from today's speaker, Elizabeth Ozer from @FirstUpEarlyEd ? #harcumedu202

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

@SenToomey support the Build Back Better Act for families and children! Please vote yes for this act and make this more affordable for students! #BuildBackBetterAct #BuildBackBetter

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

First, her presentation was absolutely amazing! I learned so much from her discourse but one take-away I learned was the number of response teams provided and available for children and families that have dealt with abuse. Thank you again @MissionKidsCAC ❤️ #harcumedu202

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

We had a guest speaker today from @MissionKidsCAC What was one take-away from that presentation? #harcumedu202

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

I learned how glow sticks glow and how things in nature came to be when they do glow in the dark! Also, I learned that playing bowling in the dark is super hard 🤣 #harcumedu202

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

What did you learn during Glow Day?! #harcumedu202

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

My fabulous creation from todays class!! 😃 #harcumece

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

What stuck with me today when learning about routines is how teachers create teachable moments through every routine. From the time kids enter the room until they leave, every teacher has a routine. If it doesn’t go as planned, that’s when anxiety kicks in. #harcumedu202

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

EDU 202, what did you learn about routines today that really stuck with you? #harcumedue202 #pedagogy

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

This is the toy I created for infants! When playing with this, an infant can use their senses such as touching. They will also use their fine/motor skills by pulling, shaking, and pushing the toy! #harcumedu202

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

I learned about how all of our senses displays in so many ways in class today! The activity I enjoyed the most was the googly eyes monster activity! The most difficult was the candle scent activity, had a bunch of laughs with @Alanys65666840 🤣💗 #harcumedu202

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

What did you learn today from “sensory day”? Which activity did you enjoy the most and which was the most difficult? #harcumedu202

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

This book is relevant to the ECE theorists we discussed in class mostly by Jean Piaget. He discussed that children use their imagination and explore (animism). Children are able to make up their own stories and invent whatever they like! #harcumedu202

[Harcum College ECE @HarcumECE]

We read this book in EDU 202 today. Take a picture of what you created and tell us how this book/activity is relevant to the ECE theorists we also discussed. #harcumedu202

[Amirah Brown @AmirahEce]

The qualities I would tell a parent to look for when selecting a child care center for their infant or toddler would be any sanitary stations, daily schedules, and representative rooms in the class! #harcumedu202
