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
<em>and</em> practice math skills at the same time. <strong><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0019UrQJSaK7nDqK02u8PbFpClCPT_-RGXIP5ythiL0Zs7hh8sOMOAy8TOgpn9Uco8tLrLw1nMM3JIRQUyElafci8zrAz7Wh2tzUdJpohPY9GAkGRxSoa2PcdsgQZdGXtjpFIVnRe4cU1GnzJVyF4UqZMSM1fiW1E7Y0bhQXk_0JTsP57G7o77NNJQk7fxNYctV08NG97TH1h4=&c=GutA8qjT26lrFoC2sNYp_aHMyMUH-MwiJ-pygEw3Xa1_hGMjVC-VSg==&ch=wEc0lJ8XEJGys3qSkQFngm4Ysd3HKv3BDXW40BswoLM4OLlc-rWiAw==" shape="rect" alt="https://www.naeyc.org/events/woyc/resources" target="_blank" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Downloadable

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
