  • Positional Words in the Toddler Room

    Learning positional words like over/under, on/off, and in/out is an important preschool skill. Not only do children develop spatial awareness by practicing these skills but they are also learning the fundamentals of early math.  Using positional words in connection with concrete objects and situations helps children develop vocabulary.  We had lots of fun this week learning the positional words IN and OUT as we took turns going IN the tunnel and coming OUT.

     

  • Practicing “in” and “out”

    Knowledge of positions is essential as children communicate in the classroom and in the real world. Young children are in a period of rapid language growth and knowledge of positional words such as above, below, inside, outside, right, and left enhances their ability to follow and give directions and to use language precisely. We practiced these language skills today using our fun tunnel! We climbed in, crawled through and came out! Simple, playful, fun activities can be wonderful learning opportunities!

    They told us when they were in the tunnel and told us when they came out…Learning is so fun!
