The Everyday Board: Promoting Learning at Home
by
Cassie Kent
Gigi, my 5 year old wants to know everything about....EVERYTHING! Questions, questions, questions. all. the.time. I love her inquisitive nature and her thirst for knowledge, but boy can it be exhausting answering every question she has. So in order to help both of us out and turn her curious mind into actual factual learning we made together an "Everyday Board". There are 2 important aspects of the everyday she needs and wants to know- Weather and Time, and they are broken down on the board in 5 different ways
1. Weather: What does it look like outside (i.e. foggy, sunny etc.)
There are many "moving parts" to the chart in order to encourage them to be interactive and help reinstate what you are learning.
There is weather panels to interchange, clothes pin clips to move around, and days of the month to cross off
Gigi is very proud of her learning space in the house.
