Village (Peek-A-Boo)For Babies 0-18 months

Please review to your activity poster that you have received this week and do activities for week 1.  In addition please use the sign we learned in class: "I Love You" "Up" "Down" with your babies this week!

Sign Language
Introducing signing (sign language) to hearing babies has the benefit of allowing an adult and baby to communicate before the baby’s vocal chords are developed enough to speak. This silent but powerful gestural communication system lessens a baby’s frustration in her still-limited ability to communicate vocally.

Baby Games
Interactive play is crucial for baby’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.  Most baby games hinge on human interaction; they bring babies and their caregivers closer, and make the time they spend together even more enjoyable.

Relaxation
Just as your child needs stimulation and engagement in age-appropriate activities, she also needs periods of relaxation. Help your child learn to calm herself, slow her pace, and relax by creating regular quiet times at home. Slow, gentle music can provide an environment conducive to relaxation.

OUR Time (Zoo Train) 

Please review to your activity poster that you have received this week and do activities for week 1.  In addition please use the sign we learned in class: "Lion" "Elephant" "Monkey" with your babies this week! Important: we are going to finger paint this Thursday!

Sign Language: signing can be an early means of parent-child communication that helps east frustrations children often feel when they are unable to fully express their needs

Vestibular System: the area which controls balance and coordination is stimulated during movement, rocking provides a great opportunity for feeling a slow steady beat and provides bonding experiences with your child

Have  great week everyone!  see you on Thursday! :-)

Sincerely, 

Ms. Florence
