Social/Emotional Learning for Young Children

http://csefel.vanderbilt.edu/resources/strategies.html

Parents and Teachers are seeing a rise in young children exhibiting behavior difficulties in daycare and preschool situations.  Children are reacting physically through hititng and kicking instead of using their words to express why they are angry or upset.  Some children are reacting by making animal noises or yelling nonsense noises instead of using their words.  Vanderbilt has helped to create the Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning in order to help parents and teachers/caregivers.  You can access the link above to find a treasure trove of resources that are free to download and print.  Take advantage of it!

Graphic Organizers

Using graphic organizers is a great way to help a student organize information and help them find a way to easily recall it when needed.  If you go to http://www.superteacherworksheets.com/graphic-organizers.html there are several great free graphic organizers for download. Where do you find graphic organizers that are helpful?  Do you have a favorite?
