Many early childhood educators, including me, think that each classroom should have a complete set of units, various props related to the current interests and experiences of the child, an open storage shelf and enough space It is. And it is time to build and reconstruct inventions and familiar structures. I asked NAEYC's staff and parenting consultant "What do you think children have learned through block game"?
Please solve the problem. There are also intentional things. "I want to build X, what should I do?" Otherwise, the function becomes unstable.
Imagination Children can follow their own plans, or they can work together to share their friends' vision to create their dream things. - Karen Cairone
Self-expression Block provides a way for bilingual young learners to explore and express in various ways and introduce what they learned in various languages - Karen Nemeth
Practice and strengthen important concepts and skills through mathematical length, measurement, comparison, quantity, estimation, symmetry, balance, block game - Kristen Kemple
Continuity and durability Block games have a sense of space and athletic ability; it can be an independent or group effort; the creation of the blockade can stand indefinitely - Lawrence Barthes
Creativity Children can reassemble blocks and other loose parts freely and freely and reassemble in countless ways. -Angela Eckhoff
Self-esteem children realize that they have the idea that their ideas can be turned into reality by creating, transforming, disassembling, and re-creating unique ones. - Holly Boart
Social and Emotional Growth Building blocks are designed to help children change their turns, share teaching materials, nurture new friendships, self-reliance, enhance concentration, work with others, and develop self-esteem I will learn.
Development block games in various fields need high quality and generous athletic ability. Building blocks enhance children's problem solving skills, mathematical skills, language and literacy skills. Building "creation" can build a sense of self-esteem and success. - Linda Taylor
Cluster articles in March 2015 cover much of the benefits of block games from early childhood to elementary school. As they are ideal materials for young children, the authors encourage infant educators to introduce or reintroduce building blocks. Through examples and images, the authors show the possibility of education and learning hindering game support.
Children can learn to improve athletic performance, practice problem solving, work with classmates while playing at the neighborhood learning center. In block games, children can explore creativity by building their own structures and communities that block people and block animals. The Block Learning Center will also teach the children basic engineering and architectural concepts. Literacy centers are essential to pre-school classrooms or ECE environments. Having a quiet place to practice reading, writing and understanding skills helps children to express their ideas, explore their interests, and understand the surrounding world. Adding a literacy center to the class will extend your child's skills and affect the overall success of school and life.
Block play provides open, creative and valuable games and learning experiences in every scene. It provides freedom for children - to explore, unpack and recombine any block-based works they can think of. There are many advantages to be gained from this activity. The following are ten aspects of learning that are expected to be upgraded, many of them initially highlighted by the National Early Childhood Education Association: 4. Mathematics - Due to the many shapes, sizes and colors offered, the building blocks provide sufficient practical opportunities for important mathematical skills, covering measurement, quantity, symmetry, balance and estimation for children We will provide it. By comparing shapes and sizes, creating patterns, and provi
