How I Learn

I need to be excited about learning.

You can:

• Encourage me to explore with my senses- to see, touch, smell, hear and taste my world.
• Give me fun, exciting choices.
• Give me lots of time to figure things out.

  

I need to learn to try things and keep trying even when it seems hard.

You can:

• Give me activities that hold my interest.
• Help me explore and try new activities
• Help me learn step by step.
• Teach me that making mistakes is part of learning.
• Show me different ways to understand my world.

I need many ways to express myself.

You can:

• Help me dance, sing, whistle, play instruments, paint, draw, color, build, invent, and make believe.
• Help me care about others and help them, too.
• Help me notice and talk about flowers, trees, animals, clouds, sky and water.

 I need to feel good about my family and culture, and to learn about other cultures.

You can:

• Show me books and pictures of people who look like me.
• Show me books and pictures of people from other cultures.
• Sing songs and tell me stories from my culture and from other cultures.
• Use the language(s) I know to help me understand and learn.
• Take me to places that teach me about my culture and other cultures.
