What Parents To Teach Us About Their Dual Language Children
The population of multilingual children has increased in US schools, teacher education programs and early childhood curriculums spend little time discussing the role that bilingualism plays in languages , literacy, cognitive, and social emotional development. (Michael-Luna & Heimer 2012)
The new insight that I have found when reading all three of these articles is, the 10 Mini Learning Centers at Home, now during the times of COVID-19 many children are not able to go to school and are doing remote learning. In ncprk we know that children learn best during play. So what better way to help guide the parents in providing the same experience to their children at home. I like the 10 mini learning centers at home, because it won't take up much space, and it will allow the parents to be more intentional with play with their child.
