Yes They Can! Using Your Early Childhood Lens to Differentiate for All Learners
|
Join Kathy for a full day of fun reading and math learning activities that are centered around multi-sensory experiences using your students' favorite songs, chants, nursery rhymes, and favorite stories. Learn how to take old favorites and turn them into new classics to meet both reading and math standards. Use your new make and take props and movement activities to teach emergent reading skills and number sense in an engaging way while differentiating for all learners. Gain research-based ideas for whole group, small groups, and independent learning centers. Leave with easy-to-implement activities that will motivate your students and support brain-based learning. Let’s learn and play together! Please bring scissors and crayons for the make and takes.
