  • The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss
Procedure: 
Begin by finding a comfortable area and read The Carrot Seed with the child. Show them how to turn the pages and practice holding the book correctly. As you are reading the story, be sure to use an engaging tone and facial expressions. Make sure the child can see the pictures at all times as well. When you are finished reading, create the carrot craft with the child. Paint their foot using the paintbrush and orange paint. Press it down on the white paper to leave a foot stamp. Wash the child’s foot and allow the paint to dry. Cut out the print. Cut the green paper into thin strips to create the top portion of the carrot. Attach these strips with glue and allow to dry. 
Assessment: 
  • Observe and record the child’s actions while reading the story. Were they engaged in the book? Did they turn the pages on their own? Keep The Carrot Seed out and available for child to practice page turning skills over the following week. Record any progress in their portfolios.

Ways Teachers Facilitate Learning 

merit washington department of early learning
Infants and toddlers are constantly moving, thinking, communicating, and feeling. In other words they are learning all the time in many different and integrated ways. The way adults express emotions, the tone of voice they use, the pace of the personal care routines, the materials provided for discovery, even the quality of light in the environment all contribute to the children’s construction of knowledge. 

Because their learning is integrated cross domains and is occurring every moment, infants learn during play as well as during caregiving routines. In essence, teachers’ actions and emotions communicate to children even when children are not directly involved in an interaction.
