Children who learn 2 read before they learn 2 move often avoid the visual midline 4 hand/eye coord, reading, & writing. A few minutes doing the Cross Crawl or Lazy 8s gives an experience of eye/hand teaming across the body's axial midline #BrainGym #MovetoLearn

Teaching #earlychildhood in the pandemic has increased my appreciation for simple materials like Popsicle sticks and yarn. #earlyyears

Due to last week’s white supremacist insurrection, they decided to run my March ⁦@ELmagazine⁩ piece early.

As always, thanks for the opportunity, ⁦@ASCD⁩. 🙏🏿 https://t.co/nXmpkUaRec

We NEED to stop glamourising overworking. Please.

The absence of sleep, good diet, exercise, relaxation, and time with friends and family isn't something to be applauded.

Too many people wear their burnout as a badge of honour.

And it needs to change.

These x-rays show the stages of hand dev & growth & why young children use the palmer grasp ✊ before dev the pincer grip ✍️

Need more:
-playing with play dough
-threading
-finger painting
-freedom to explore mark making materials w'out direction

Let them play!

Paley inspires me again to find ways for EY Ss to play together - "Any approach to language and thought that eliminates dramatic play, and its underlying themes of friendship and safety lost and found ignores the greatest incentive to the creative process."

Oppression needs to end. Period. Black lives matter. White guilt can transform into positive action to heal and build something better for us all. What can we do as teachers and citizens to help? #blm #blmEARTH

[Mehcad @MehcadBrooks]

Racism is not mine. It is not yours. It is history’s. Why is it hard to let go of something none of us created? The systems have to change. Change is evolving. Evolution is the way of things. When you stand in the way of the future you become the past. #blm
