Learning and exploring outside is crucial in child development. The skills learned through those experiences are invaluable! Though each and every one of these plays a vital role in development, none are as important as play. Play IS how children learn!

Even though some students look like they go through a seamless transition from non-reader to reader, research shows it’s not that simple. Students start getting ready to read years before they do it, using 6 critical reading readiness skills. @edutopia https://t.co/Tp2u4DlT85

We can make smart choices regarding our kids' screen time. Remember 2 good rules of thumb: 1. Interactions with an adult make the tech time useful, not passively watching or gaming. 2. Follow the AAP's guide for recommended screen time for each age level.

[PBS KIDS @PBSKIDS]

We as parents need to challenge negative thinking about our kids' screen time, and consider the potential for good! Here are three of the most common digital media fears and tips for how to overcome them. https://t.co/PwJGMZDXzj

Pumpkin Jack lives on! Mrs. Woody did a visual investigation/comparison of their decaying pumpkin vs one of the pumpkins from their pumpkin patch before she read the story. She built schema by watching a time-lapse video of a decaying pumpkin before checking on Jack! #handsonEC

When a teacher shares how peers are spontaneously helping each other calm down, your heart fills with joy knowing that the stepping stones are being set at such a young age. @ConsciousD #SEL

Enjoy episode 1! Don’t forget to sanitize, glove up, and get cooking! https://t.co/tKSpeE2z2P

Yes! We may 'think' we have taught routines and procedures. Resist the urge to say, "You know better," and let the visuals do the talking! They never get tired of reminding our kids "how to..."

[Conscious Discipline @ConsciousD]

Visuals have the power to help children learn and remember routines. Listen in as Certified Instructor Polly Beebe shares more about the power of visuals in her session from the 2018 Elevate SEL Conference as part of our Premium Membership here: https://t.co/Rl4zKf7sgs #iHeartCD

These sure are a great tool to add to their play-dough bags! @AlyssaWoody2009 @Linnearw @MckinneyAlee @shann_schubert Your kiddos could make these for home learning, too!

[Tiffany Vinson @VinsonPrek]

The Pre-Kers have been learning the letter L for the past two days, now they have their very own Play-dough stamps to use. The stamps are made of a water bottle lid and hot glue. A big thanks goes to the Region 10 pre-K team for this fabulous idea! @PKSarahScrivens @steph_frosch
