What are ten ways a teacher can interact with their children in the classroom. Ages are 15 months to 3yrs ?

Answer 1

There are many ways. What kind of interaction? The key thing to remember when working with little ones (one on one or in a group) is to get down on their level so you are not towering over them. You can have story time... felt board stories, big book stories w/ pictures, imagination stories (no pictures... have them close their eyes). You can sing songs and do finger plays... anything with motion that they can join in on will go over well. If they have free time join in with their play. Help build with the blocks or have some pretend tea. The more they feel you are part of the group the happier their class will be. Be creative... make everything you do a chance to interact with them. At meal time talk about the food they are eating. Where did it come from? Who are the people who helped make the food? Colors, shapes, counting... anything that you can think of about whatever they are doing. Ask a lot of open-ended questions to encourage them to speek more, instead of questions with one word answers. If they make a mistake in grammer or pernouncing words, do not correct them, but repeat what they said in a correct way so the know you understand what they are trying to say. Remember the younger they are the shorter their attention span so you need to keep things moving. They should not be expected to sit for half an hour and practice counting. Move on to something else and then come back to it later. Talk using details. Instead of saying "let's put all the blocks away" try "Lets put all the blue blocks away" or "Let's put all the smallest blocks away first." This helps them to learn more discriptive words such as colors, sizes, shapes, textures. There is so much more I could go on and on. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

1. Get on their level. Do not talk down to them.
2. Look them in the eye.
3. Speak sofly.
4. Have individual art time.
5. Read books as a group and individually.
6. Show them how to use manipulatives (legos, connecting beads, etc.)
7. Crawl around with them (younger ones). Sit with the older ones, at the table or on the floor.
8. Play with them outside.
9. Eat meals family style.
10. Ask them questions (tell the younger ones the answers) make sure you never leave anyone out or ignore a child.
11. Sing, Sing, Sing!! Children LOVE to sing

Answer 3

I would think that with that age group, most interactions would involve using their names and touch (high fives etc). Asking questions in that age group is not all that effective but asking a group question aout a student can be interactive (Class, what color is Johnny's shirt?). Singing name games and things like that. Having kids learn with tangible things like everyone has a paper shape or color blotch to learn about colors or shapes etc. Just some ideas.

Answer 4

Very patiently.

Have manipulative ready for the different age groups and books. Music instruments
