As challenging as this may be, a preschool teachers goal remains the same: to welcome all children and give them the best possible start in education and in life. Even the most experienced teacher can feel a bit unsure about meeting the unique needs of children from different language backgrounds. Many Languages, One Classroom applies the latest information about best practices to all aspects of a preschool program. The strategies you will find in this book - such as using lists of key words and visual aids to using body language and gestures - are adaptable and easy to put into practice. Organized by interest areas and times of the day, youll find everything you need to help English language learners during dramatic play, outdoor play, reading, science, blocks, and circle time. Each chapter has the following key components: - The Environment - Activities - Links to Standards (Individual child outcomes) - Family Connections - Technology Tips - Reflections About the Author Karen Nemeth earned her BA in Psychology from William Paterson University and her M.Ed. in Learning, Cognition and Development from Rutgers University.
