Final Project
For a final project in this course we thought it would be beneficial to have individuals put together a teacher resource guide (TRG) that will be helpful as you start your child care career or as you continue to grow as a child care professional. In order to complete this you will need to do internet searches, talk to coworkers, directors, parents, ask questions on the discussion boards or chat with us either through email, messaging on the discussion boards or giving us a call. We can learn so much from individuals that are already in the field.
Please choose 4 of the following topics to start your TRG:
- Outdoor activities for toddlers
- Fingerplays and simple rhymes for toddlers
- Floor time activities for infants
- Environmental activities for toddlers
- Small motor activities for toddlers
- Sensory table ideas for toddlers
- Daily communication sheet ideas for infants
- Large motor activities for toddlers
- Story time ideas for toddlers
- Dramatic play props for toddlers
- Simple snacks to make with toddlers
- Simple songs to sing to infants
- Creative art ideas
Once you have chosen your 4 topics complete the following:
- For each topic: List two websites you visited to find ideas for your topic and list one activity on each website that you will add to your TRG.
- For each topic: Ask 3 people (coworkers, directors….) to give you one idea you can add to your TRG. List those here.
- For each topic: What will the children learn and how will you as a teacher benefit from the activities/ideas you add to your TRG?
