Activities Guide: Enhancing and Practicing Executive Function Skills with Children from Infancy to Adolescence
"Six videos have been created to highlight strategies that support language development for young children. The Enhancing Young Children’s Language and Literacy Development video series features interactions between Saskatchewan early childhood educators and children, and offers practical suggestions for implementing language and early literacy strategies.
Each video is approximately 15 minutes in length and includes information and examples for the continuum of early years development from 0-5 years of age. The videos will be useful for educators and staff who work with young children.
Video Titles include:
Getting in Tune with Children;
Incorporating Vocabulary into Routines;
Adjust the Way You Talk with Children;
Turn Taking with Children;
Sharing Books with Children; and,
Oral Storytelling with Children."
This choice board can be used for the students "that are always done everything" either at home or at school.
You can set your own expectations about how many students will complete along with them, but I'd suggest starting with just one and see how it goes.
I've included a PDF version for sharing - it's easy to click the links and get started.
I've also included the choice board as a MSWord doc so you can edit it or create your own if you wish (please share it back!)

Orange Shirt Day and what is now called 'The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is coming up on September 30. Here is a free resource for educators and parents of children learning and participating in Orange Shirt Day. A coloring page can be a simple tool to engage children and gives them an additional way to show their support as they learn about why orange shirt day is so important.
Coloring has been proven to have the ability to help relieve stress, generate mindfulness, engage active listening and help with the processing of emotions. And don't forget, coloring isn't just for kids!
