Early Childhood, defined as the period from birth to 8 years old, is a time of remarkable growth with brain development at its peak. During this stage, children are highly influenced by the environment and the people that surround them. Coming to education when the child is at an early stage, the way we inculcate the information into the pretty Little minds is the most important task that we have.
Here are some ways that give the best result when you implement on little brains!
1.Identify the sound and matching:
This activity requires a few large cutouts of cardboard and several small objects nearby that begin with those letters.
For Example, if your letters are " B" & "F", you might have a pile of buttons and feathers. Start by having the child say the sound that the letter makes, then encourage the child to find an object beginning with the same sound and paste it to the letter.
It is an activity that makes the child be hands-on in their learning. It also results in an art" masterpiece".
2. Symbol/log labelling:
One way to promote everyday vocabulary is by having students verbally label common brands and symbols. Translating from picture to word helps in language development.
To make it more interactive so we can include pictures of symbols found around the streets signs, car logs or clothing brands. Then children can bring the photos to the classroom where students can label them as a group. This labelling practice can add layers of complexity as kids learn– colours and numbers can easily be added into the mix.
3. Initiate Gardening:
A Garden can be an excellent way to teach kids about the natural world. Growing a plant from seed to maturity can teach children about their own growth, relieve stress and help to promote fine motor skills. It also allows you to reinforce routines by setting aside time to regularly check up on the plant's progress with your pupils.
4. Get the senses involved in science:– Getting kids to be still for a moment and focus on what they are discovering helps you learning what they know. It is important to encourage students to use all five senses in science and observe activities
For Example, when planting a class garden they can discuss how the soil feels and smells and what colours we see in the soil. The talk is about how different plants will taste and what they will look like as they grow from a seed into a plant.
