Notas do Editor
- Montessori: Multiage grouping, human tendencies (language, movement), observation, indirect preparation, preparation of the environment, uninterrupted work time Piaget: infants sensorimotor stage of development, schemas, assimilation, Erikson: Stages of psychosocial development. Children develop a sense of trust when caregivers provide reliabilty, care, and affection. A lack of this will lead to mistrust. Vygotsky: Zone of Proximal Development (known info skills too difficult to master alone but with guidance and encouragement can be learned unknown info) scaffolding Gardner: multiple intelligences (visual/spatial, body/kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, linguistic, logic/math, nature) Maslow: hierarchy of needs (basic human needs physiological, safety, belonging, self esteem, self actualization)
- Physical Environment What materials do I have access to? Playscape Am I allowed to engage with the environment daily? The great outdoors How does it sound in my immediate surroundings? Soundscape What is that smell?! Aromascape Can I see the materials? Is the light too bright? Lightscape Human environment Are my needs met in a timely manner? Trust v Mistrust (Erik eriksons psychosocial stage of development) How am I spoken to? “Cute words” or “Respectful language“ How am I handled? Abrupt movement or gentle and respectful movement
- Places where light is different (low lighting, Natural lighting) places where light hits something of color and creates color Essential oils, sensory bottles, dirty bibs, trash, diapers Loud adult voices, obnoxious music, use calm soothing sounds (ie, heartbeat, single instrument) adults singing at a respectful level Textured rugs, cement, grass, smooth stones, linoleum, sensory boards, fabric swatches Take a rug outside and lay it in the grass for young infants to explore on (nature does wonders for a screaming baby!!! Variety in all areas of the room but not too drastic
- Talk with infants not to/at infants Label items in a soft tone of voice Rhythmic finger plays Over in the meadow is what I use for sleep time or to calm a baby or humming Books with REAL pictures are important LOTS of talking but not about your weekend plans with your co teachers or buddies
- Foam blocks, wood blocks, anything with a flat surface take into consideration the flooring in this area Not taking apart complicated puzzles but an open and close basket Allow them to investigate without interruption (ie. Water on the playground after a good rain) Ball in a box Old telephones, bracelets, scarves, pots and pans, Branches, leaves, sand, water etc…
- Items and structures that they can climb onto and not get hurt falling from Tires are FREE
- The parent is the first environment for the child. In most cases the attachment between the parent and child is the most secure one they have. It is our job to support the child and parent as if they were one being. Don’t interrupt an altercation between peers of similar age and ability unless it becomes an unsafe situation. Believe it or not most children will resolve it on their own. Take aminute to sit back and observe but keep your body in close proximity to the situation.
