Social understanding topics and activities allow children to develop collaborative behaviors. Describe how you will encourage collaborative behaviors
- Activities offered to encourage social-emotional understanding can also:
- build the children’s knowledge, concepts, and pride of their own family identity.
- foster positive views about our multicultural and multilingual society.
- respond to the diversity of the children’s cultures and languages.
- all of the above
- Early care and learning programs are generally the first group situation outside the family and home and allow children:
- to function best in large groups.
- to interact in environments different from their own communities.
- to gain a sense of community.
- to develop skills whenever they arrive with abilities to cooperate.
- Aesthetics:
- is an essential part of the early childhood curriculum.
- provide children with chances to discover nature, beauty, and art.
- is particularly important for young children because it involves their thinking abilities and not their senses.
- is most valuable during teacher-guided activities because it is the only time children develop a sense of wonder.
- Aesthetic development with art is valuable because:
- appropriate art activities encourage relaxation, exploration, and pleasure.
- children benefit when activities are soothing.
- concepts in other curriculum areas develop while children enjoy aesthetic activities.
- all of the above
- Appreciation of art:
- limits experiences to art materials in programs for young children.
- offers school-age children an understanding of design; a topic that is not appropriate for early childhood curriculum.
- extends children’s experiences to see beauty in nature, their communities, and within their cultures.
- may not include an activity about ancient art work, a topic beyond preschool’s cognitive understanding.
- Creative dramatics in early childhood programs:
- includes two categories, dramatic play and sociodramatics.
- consistently refers to pretending, imagining, and playing.
- offers young children experiences only in the area of dramatic play.
- rarely provides young children with opportunities to develop skills besides play behaviors.
- Affective development with social understanding may offer children opportunities to:
- understand themselves, their families, and their communities.
- acquire prosocial skills.
- become responsible and caring citizens.
- all of the above
- Social understanding topics and activities for young children:
- tend to be so sensitive that teachers rarely include them in the curriculum.
- avoid discussion about gender roles.
- might discuss the illness of a family member.
- none of the above
- The experiences that strengthen connections and relationships:
- allow children to appreciate the differences and similarities among other children, adults, and families.
- focus on movement activities because young children in early care learning programs are not quite ready for discussions about relationships.
- offer conversations about families but not diversity.
- require approval of the board of education because of the sensitive topics.
