One of the most important parts of our curriculum at Cox Children's Center is through reading books. Children enjoy learning through books and seeing pictures of things they want to learn about. While at the center, our teachers spend time reading books and looking at books with your children about the current project or other topics of the day.
Looking at books and reading stories is something you can do at home with your child too. Reading can reduce some of the "busy" moments children have and encourage a calm time instead. You may want to read a book before bedtime, after a lot of gross motor time to transition to calmer/quieter activities, or if your child is interested in something you could find books about the subject to extend their play/interest.
Another way to link school to home would be to reread the book(s) read in the classroom or to find books with similar subject matter. Our center participates in monthly Scholastic book orders and book fairs. If your library at home is rather small in size, consider ordering from Scholastic this month. Book orders are due September 20th and order forms have been sent home today.
