Child Care Classes
Remember this in terms of the Educational theorists we study:
Montessori was known for observation and helping teachers setting up classrooms in a non-cluttered atmosphere.
Dewey was known as the father of curriculum. He felt that if you were going to talk about something scientific, then don't put out all colors of the rainbow and tell them to use their imagination...they shouldn't.
Vygotsky was the language person. He wanted children to socialize and use language at the same time. He just felt this would help them in all directions.

"A linear calendar is like a number line. Make and use a linear calendar in your preschool or pre-k classroom to help young children better understand the passage of time."
vs
Regular calendar

Do we expose them to a regular calendar or do we do linear for 3 year olds and regular for the older group to expose them to what they will get when they get the following year.
Questions for us to consider.
