Lower Elementary - Working in the Courtyard

Our elementary students have a choice about where to work each day. Whether they choose to work at a desk, on a mat on the floor, or in the outdoor courtyards, students have the freedom of movement throughout each workday to match their needs. This student chose to do her math in the outdoor courtyard on a beautiful morning, resulting in a more positive experience for her learning journey.

don’t like the vibe of this at all. i feel like this would assign me “girl autism” because i’m like a stereotypical people-pleasing pussy at birth autist except i got diagnosed as a little kid & got mistreated by medical professionals as much as any other person seeking an autism diagnosis. in fact, my having a diagnosis fundamentally did not influence the way i grew up as an autistic person lol it literally just meant i had a word i was too ashamed to use as a kid because it was like putting a target on my back for my peers, who already treated me bad because i behaved “weird”.

So I was back to subbing at the elementary school today, which as I've mentioned is my favorite place to work. In some ways it's just the most comfortable to me; this is now my fourth year in a row I've had some kind of job associated with kids of that age group who attend that school, so I know a lot of the students and faculty. Actually, a lot of the faculty who work there today have been working there since I was a student.

Most of them recognized me immediately when I started showing my face there, like I didn't graduate from there over a decade ago, age 11. There was one para, who now works as a library assistant, but who used to monitor lunch and recess. I didn't remember her name but I knew her face. The first time she saw me subbing she was just like "oh, hi Diana."

I was talking to her this morning before school started because a first grade teacher unexpectedly called out, so I filled in for her for the first hour of the day before I started the job I clocked in for and a replacement could be found. But this library assistant usually leads the morning meetings with this first grade class and would help me with attendance and all those other beginning-of-the-day responsibilities.

She was saying to me "You know, why don't you work here full time? You're good with kids. You'd be good at it." In other small talk we'd had last year she had asked me similar things, like if I'd ever consider taking up a steady job at the elementary school, how my school was going, etc. I'm in between college right now but currently not taking classes. And I mentioned how I'm trying to take more sub jobs at the middle and high school so I get more well-rounded—that actually is the age group my education major is in. I've been working with the preschool-to-fifth-grade age range but my plan has always been middle-to-high school English.

And I was telling her about that, and I was like "You know what? When I tell people I want to teach older kids, some say to me stuff like 'oh you never know, you might change your mind'—and only recently I've been wondering if I really would. But I hate it when they're right!"

And that made her laugh. But it's true! I do really love working with the littles, as it turns out. Been doing it several years now. But in terms of anyone who's ever mentioned that to me unprompted, I wanna be like... hey, what do you know?!?!

Boosting Pre-Primary Education Success with Parental Power

Are you a parent of kids who is worried about their pre-primary education practices? The early years are a critical window for a child's development, and the role of parents is paramount. The foundation of a child's educational success is laid long before they step into a formal classroom.

Pre-primary education plays a vital role in nurturing this growth, but it's important to remember that a child's first and most influential teacher is often their parent. Empowering parents for effective pre-primary education practices is not just beneficial; it is essential. It also helps in creating a good bond between the child and parents.

In the blog, you will learn more about empowering parents for effective pre-primary education practices in detail.

Why Empowering Parents Matters

Many parents may experience uncertainty regarding their child's pre-primary education. They may wonder how to best support their child's learning at home or how to bridge the gap between what happens in the classroom and their daily routines. Parents are concerned about their kid’s education at home. They think about how they can help educate their kids in the best way at home. Empowering parents for effective pre-primary education practices deals with these concerns by:

1. Building Confidence

When parents gain a comprehensive understanding of child development milestones and effective learning strategies, they become more confident in their capacity to support and foster their child's growth. This knowledge gives them the confidence to create enriching learning environments and engage in activities that promote their child's cognitive, emotional, and social development.

As a result, they can play a more active and informed role in their child's early education, positively impacting their overall development and readiness for future educational challenges.

2. Enhancing Collaboration

When parents feel empowered with the right knowledge and resources, they are better equipped to communicate and collaborate effectively with teachers. This empowerment enables them to actively participate in discussions about their child's progress, share insights about their child's needs, and support the educational strategies implemented by teachers.

3. Extending Learning Beyond the Classroom

Through an understanding of the curriculum and learning activities implemented at school, parents can effectively tailor their efforts at home to create engaging and complementary experiences that reinforce their child's educational journey.

4. Fostering a Love for Learning 

When parents show excitement and eagerness to learn new things, their positive energy and enthusiasm become infectious, inspiring those around them, including their children, to also assume a love for learning and exploration.

Strategies for Empowering Parents

1. Education and Awareness

Workshops and Seminars

Organizing workshops and seminars on child development and early education can provide parents with valuable insights. Topics such as the importance of play, language development, and positive discipline can be covered.

Online Resources

Creating a repository of online resources, including articles, videos, and interactive modules, can help parents access information at their convenience.

2. Practical Guidance

Activity Guides 

Providing parents with guides on age-appropriate activities can help them engage their children in meaningful ways. These guides can include simple games, reading lists, and craft ideas that promote learning.

Routine Building 

Assisting parents in establishing daily routines that incorporate learning activities can ensure consistency and structure, which are vital for young children.

3. Community Building

Parent Support Groups 

Facilitating parent support groups where experiences and ideas can be shared fosters a sense of community. These groups can meet in person or online, providing a platform for mutual support.

School-Parent Partnerships 

Strengthening the partnership between schools and parents can lead to more cohesive educational experiences. Schools can organize regular meetings and involve parents in the decision-making process regarding their child's education.

Addressing Common Challenges

Despite the best intentions, parents often face challenges in implementing effective pre-primary education practices. These challenges can include time constraints, lack of resources, and limited understanding of child development principles. 

Empowering parents for effective pre-primary education practices means acknowledging these challenges and providing practical solutions.

Time Management

Offering tips on time management can help parents balance their responsibilities while dedicating time to their child's education. This could include integrating learning activities into daily routines and setting realistic goals.

Access to Resources 

Collaborating with community organizations and libraries to provide parents with access to books, educational materials, and toys can bridge resource gaps. Additionally, creating online platforms where parents can share and exchange resources can be beneficial.

Continuous Learning

Encouraging parents to continuously educate themselves about child development through books, courses, and online content can keep them informed and motivated.

The Final Note 

Empowering parents with effective pre-primary education practices is an essential step in ensuring that children receive the best start in their educational journey. By providing parents with the knowledge, resources, and support they need, we can help them build the confidence required to foster their child's development at home. This empowerment not only enhances the learning experience for children but also strengthens the bond between parents and their children.

Through education and awareness, practical guidance, and community building, we can address the common challenges parents face and offer practical solutions. In the end, investing in empowering parents for effective pre-primary education practices is a crucial aspect of early childhood education. It lays a solid foundation for children's overall development and prepares them for the challenges ahead. As we continue to support and empower parents, we pave the way for a brighter and more successful future for our children.

Early Childhood - Outdoor Classroom

What a great peach harvest! These students were very excited to finally be able to pick the peaches after waiting patiently for them to become ripe. They did a thorough inspection of them after picking and are very happy with their selection.

I once worked in a classroom where the owner's child would bite other children almost every single day.

it got so bad I think the child had racked up over 20 bites in a matter of months.

As the lead teacher of the classroom, I had to sit there and be the spokesperson for this toddler dental warfare that was going on in this woman's school at the hands (teeth?) of her own kid. It was awkward AF.

The parents as clientele were so frustrated, rightfully. And I had to sit there and field a bunch of one-on-one meetings with angry parents.

I legally wasn't allowed to reveal who was doing all the biting (in America, no one can reveal "who did it" when a kid hurts another kid in a preschool or daycare).  I also couldn't protect everybody's child in the room, just like no one at a dog park can guarantee they can protect their own free-roaming dog from an unpredictable and sudden aggression from a another dog at a dog park. Like... what was I supposed to do? Magically transport my body 10 feet away in an instant and turn myself into a protective forcefield from the owner's son biting everyone in class?

Where was the owner this whole time, you wonder? In her office. if I recall correctly I don't even think there was one day where she spent the entire day just observing our classroom and observing her son in class. 

Her kid was allowed to continue on in preschool happy as a clam... a clam with sharp toddler teeth.

and there wasn't jack shit I could do about it 🤷‍♀️. Except take the brunt of all the rage from angry parents.
