From Ms. Freedman

Hello to all my Working With Infants and Young Children Students. It is with great pleasure that I am here to teach you from April 8th, 2013 until the end of this school year.  I will be continuing from where Ms. Atwal left off and then cover units 3 and 4, culminating course assignment, and then the final exam. I urge you to check this blog every other day for new materials that I may post, or new links to help in your learning and/or studying. Feel free to ask questions in person or via email at anytime. But, please allow me a couple of days to reply.

You can email at: leslie.freedman@tdsb.on.ca

I hope you enjoy learning about taking care of children, working with them, and seeing them grow in P.I.E.S.  You should remember what this acronym means. 

Anyway, here is a link to see for your quiz on Thursday April 18th, 2013. temper tantrum 

Just to also say that when babies begin to speak the first words are usually "mama" because the first letters that can be formed by speech patterns are b's, p's and m's. That is why children can say ball, mama, papa, dada. 

Here is another link to tell you what habits children form to release the tension of their fears.

Click fears. One of the first habits is picking their nose. As gross as it may seem, we all have habits that people think are nasty.
