PRE-K UPDATE
APRIL 11, 2018

Here's the latest news from The Long Island Pre-K Initiative, your source for expert training and useful resources: www.nassauboces.org/pre-k<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0019UrQJSaK7nDqK02u8PbFpClCPT_-RGXIP5ythiL0Zs7hh8sOMOAy8c9w473BciuiigzWs_-8h08p0VZPRq7woQ3tYKYEEegz3OB0IPS4BxNmAWAsX8-jj1lT88tH4L7i0VLiJXeuVnWz7hRIPnILaWF4OtF7zolNaUq2ia7zJMIrQdVN_cei4w==&c=GutA8qjT26lrFoC2sNYp_aHMyMUH-MwiJ-pygEw3Xa1_hGMjVC-VSg==&ch=wEc0lJ8XEJGys3qSkQFngm4Ysd3HKv3BDXW40BswoLM4OLlc-rWiAw==>

 "It is important to ask...what type of future setting low SES* kindergarteners are being prepared for when they are not permitted to eat a snack, talk during lunch, play freely during recess, or rest when tired."

This is just one of the thought-provoking conclusions from a just-released study of Massachusetts kindergartens sponsored by Defending the Early Years, a nonprofit advocacy organization.

[http://files.constantcontact.com/041dbccb401/2a96449b-996c-4736-961d-e6e1b8706008.jpg]

The research was done by Dr. R. Clarke Fowler of Salem State University after surprising conversations with two teachers--one from a high-income area and one from a low-income community. Both reported cutbacks in time for child-directed activities such as free place, recess, lunch, snack time and rest time. So he developed a survey to investigate their complaints--and what he found was disturbing. His conclusions include:

  *   Schools have reduced the time kindergarteners have for child-directed activities, despite research that shows children need to take frequent breaks from paying attention to teacher-directed activities and that children need self-selected, child-directed activities--especially play--to foster their development.
  *   Children in high-socioeconomic status (SES) schools have more child-directed activities (though still significantly less than teachers would like). Child-directed activities in some low-SES kindergartens are minimal or non-existent.
  *   Most elementary principals are inexperienced in early childhood education.

Are you in tune with Music Monday? Prepared for Tasty Tuesday? Week of the Young Child starts Monday, April 16
Each year the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)

sets aside a week to celebrate young children, their teachers and their families. Through five themed days they promote different aspects of learning in fun and engaging ways. For example, Music Monday reminds us that children develop math, languages and literacy skills while they enjoy singing and dancing. Tasty Tuesday is an opportunity to encourage healthy eating and practice math skills at the same time.

What's new this year is an increased emphasis on sharing Week of the Young Child (WOYC) activities and experiences on social media. NAEYC hopes that you will not only build block cities on Working Together Wednesday, for example, but that you will share photos on Facebook or Twitter using the #woyc18 hashtag. That way Long Island teachers can see what early educators are doing everywhere in the U.S. NAEYC also outlines opportunities for using WOYC to advocate for early childhood education through the #ECEWins campaign<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0019UrQJSaK7nDqK02u8PbFpClCPT_-RGXIP5ythiL0Zs7hh8sOMOAy8TOgpn9Uco8t3i_H7SJ9DA9mFiur6Zp142reCi3AdgCr_afWlXXttPqWBqRsdylpqgyY6BpbLc5RpMP8urWMr74aojtttAMS6fzZx8Ha7vbKGSuPhQnnGa5yGZL5KuSyqwjekBK2S0t0nkkXUJuwxdZZDg5n05ywEHrZfS27eBP4X9Ab0-ZmVMH7xJvSDZ0A2cQJQJPTsAL105hkyZZmG6Zpuw09TiPy6Q==&c=GutA8qjT26lrFoC2sNYp_aHMyMUH-MwiJ-pygEw3Xa1_hGMjVC-VSg==&ch=wEc0lJ8XEJGys3qSkQFngm4Ysd3HKv3BDXW40BswoLM4OLlc-rWiAw==>.

Want young kids' brains to develop? Take off their shoes!
Want them to speak grammatically? Sing and dance!
That's right--going barefoot is a plus for young children's brains. In a blog post, early education consultant Rae Pica* reminds us that feet are actually the most nerve-rich

parts of the human body--and that we're much more likely to get sick from touching something with our hands than from going barefoot.

And a recent study demonstrates the link between speaking correctly and music. "Getting a child to combine words and a phrase to make a sentence may be as simple as helping them feel the beat to their favorite song," according to Child Trends, a nonprofit research organization. In other words, being able to find the rhythms in music, clapping hands and tapping feet, is also related to learning the rhythms of speech.
