🅱🅾🅾🅺🆂 🅱🅾🅾🅺🆂 🅱🅾🅾🅺🆂 Reading aloud to a child is the most powerful way to prepare him or her for success in reading, and this equips children to succeed socially and educationally. Words are critical in building particular thought connections in the brain, but the language experience is best when it is not a passive experience. 📚 🙌One of the reasons we chose to use the @kindermusik_international curriculum here at Grow and Sing Studios is because for each curriculum unit, families receive a new book that beautifully compliments the music and movement activities in class. Every time a unitl changes through the year, it's NEW BOOK TIME. How cool is that?

Two nights ago I read a story from my childhood – Peter Churchmouse – to our family. My husband remembered the book and even knew one of Peter’s poems by heart: . Drink, drink, drink, To make me bigger, But all I do Is lose my figure. Fuss, fuss, fuss! . Then last night one of our very youngest (two years old less than a month ago) recited the verse back to me word for word. . This is etched in my memory and on my heart. . #ReadAloud #ReadingToChildren #PeterChurchmouse #WeeklyReaderChildrensBookClub #SaveTheBooks #ChildrensBooks #EarlyLiteracy #TeachThemYoung #memories (at San Juan Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_YEDhnJUFD/?igshid=1qrg0n1z6tl0h

Prompt Two

Whilst on teaching placement in a grade 3/4 class I was given the opportunity to create a Poetry unit. Part of this was creating a classroom display for students poems and I came across the idea of creating a Poet Tree Display. Below are a few examples of other peoples displays. When I get a chance I will try to find a photo of my own display I created with students. As we learned about each type of Poem students were able to read a variety of Poems aloud to the class and additionally write their own. They then chose which of their poems they would like to display on our Poet Tree.

At a time when I felt emotionally drained, when I avoided all media--both social and traditional--because I could not stand to be reminded of the progeny of hate that was the Orlando massacre, I felt blessed, honored, gifted with the opportunity to put on some drag, and read to some children. The kids welcomed me with Pride month signs and made me feel so loved and accepted. They had no problems gendering me appropriately or understanding the concept of a drag queen... There is hope. There is love. There is light. #hopeforthefuture #readingtochildren #dragqueensreading #honeymahogany #rosaparkselementary #radarproductions (at Rosa Parks Elementary)
