Sharing Web Resources

Some of the links I explored went to training events that NAEYC offers. I also saw one link that told about special projects and initiatives that were happening all over the US. The one area that I explored was Week of the Young Child which is this coming week, April 10-16, 2011. I chose this to explore because I am so excited about it! We are planning activities here at our Head Start program in recognition of the week. It gave suggestions for activities you could do and places you could share what you're doing. There were also themes you could use for your celebrations. I do not receive an e-newsletter from this site. The thing on the site that adds to equity and excellence in child care would be the trainings. They also offer a training guide to go with their journal that they mail out. These things could improve the quality of the care children receive by training the Early Childhood professionals who are members of or visit this site. The other insight I gained from exploring this website is more information about Week of the Young Child. It gave me some more ideas of things we could do next week. I also learned the theme is "Early Years are Learning Years" and the site listed some sub themes and my favorite was "Play: Where Learning Begins". I will be consulting this site more next week. Lots of good stuff!

    Good Job Susann on your blog!!!
    I am thinking about going on the site your shared because I see some things that I really liked. You listed lots of good information. I think you should read my blog and go on the website I choose because it's very interesting. You would like it because it's dealing with Pre-K.

    I think that is a great idea to focus on the Week of the Young Child in your classroom. Also to find out through your research that the theme is "Early years are Learning Years" is great. Hopefully this can assist in bringing about awareness of the importance of programs such as Head Start along with acessibility, availability and affordability.
