I saw this activity online and I just had to share!! I think this is a great outdoor learning activity educators can use with their students to practice colour matching and making real world connections! 🍂🌈
Landfill sensory bin fun! 🚜♻️
Students looked through soil to find objects to sort into garbage, paper or plastic containers! This is a great activity to use to promote recycling and keeping our planet clean🌎
Oil spill sensory bin sorting🟢🔵
Students had to dive into our water sensory bin and sort out the letters and numbers!! They loved having to clean off the objects with the sponge and toothbrush🧼🪣
Exit tickets are great tools to use for assessment and to see if your activities/lessons are working for you and your students!
Looks like the kiddos loved our activities we did at the carousel!🔵🟢 @EY_uwindsor
Today we made Seed Bombs at our Early Years Carousel🪴 This is a great activity to do with young minds who want to help grow beautiful things around our community🌸 They also loved that they could take it home and plant it with their families and watch it grow over the summer!☀️
A resource I’ve found very useful as an upcoming teacher is the website TVO Learn! It provides free educational games and interactive activities across all subject and grade levels!! I highly recommend for teachers to use this website📚❤️🔒 @EY_uwindsor
Today our class made firework paintings using straws! The students loved to see how each fire work came out different depending on how hard they blew into their straw! We also had them write their New Years goal to practice our writing skills & self growth! 🎇📝🍎 @EY_uwindsor
I absolutely love this learning activity!!
It not only promotes problem solving skills, but also helps with fine motor skills!! I will for sure be using this in the future! 🤩🩵 @EY_uwindsor
We are building structures using foam blocks and shaving cream! Incredible idea by these EY Educators. The male student recognized that there needed to be a thick enough layer of shaving cream for the foam blocks to remain secured! Such good thinking. @EY_uwindsor #EYvolunteering
Today I used a crocodile friend to help my Jk/Sk’s learn about shapes! They really enjoyed reaching in his mouth to grab a new shape, learn about each shape and sort them! 🟣🟨♥️🔷
I absolutely love this technique on teaching students about colours! I will for sure be using this in my future classroom🎨🩷 and I love seeing young minds learn new things for the first time🥹
Learning about the new colours that our primary colours create when mixed!
I love watching their eyes light up recognizing the secondary colours they’ve created! #EYvolunteering @EY_uwindsor
Having a growth mindset as an educator & a student is so important to have, as it keeps us motivated when facing challenges and can help us reach our goals 🩵❤️📚🧠
How do you ensure that your teaching methods are up to date and based on current research in early childhood education? 🧩 @MissCStark@MsCondotta@DeanneT15
Today volunteering in a JK/SK classroom, I learned a great strategy for getting students attention and or keeping them on task, which is to sing what you have to say rather than just speak it! When implementing this strategy, I noticed I got students attention a lot faster🎤🎼
