From day one, children are eager and determined to understand how the world works. They do this through play, using all the “tools” they have at their disposal.
Watch your child at play, and you will see the kind of concentration, passion, and creative excitement that artists and scientists bring to their projects

Preschool Age
Preschool boys and girls are between the ages of 2 to five years old. They are very active and curious.
The Preschool Classroom
A preschool classroom needs to be organized, and the materials need to be accessible to all children,
Safety is the number one priority when it comes to preschoolers.
The furniture needs to be oversized and cushy.
The classroom should be divided into centers that are labeled so the children will associate the word with the activity.
All centers need to be visually accessible
Preschool Centers
Preschools need a classroom that is inviting and safe for the children to explore. It need to be spacious and provides a lot of room for them to explore.
Diverse Population
Read books that contain diverse characters
Look at magazines and photos that contain different cultures
Play games and use dolls that are of different diversities
Watch shows or videos that feature diverse population
Allow guest speakers to come in and share with the students
Talk and introduce about other languages

Language Development
We as teachers and most of all parents, must never assume that a child is a certain age is just like everyone else. If you are a parent and are concerned about your child’s development, speak to the teacher and also consult with your child’s primary care provider.
Developmental Activities for Preschoolers
Make a scrapbook of favorite or familiar things by cutting out pictures. Group them into categories, such as things to ride on, things to eat, things for dessert, fruits, things to play with. Create silly pictures by mixing and matching pictures. Glue a picture of a dog behind the wheel of a car. Talk about what is wrong with the picture and ways to "fix" it. Count items pictured in the book.
Read to the child. Sometimes "reading" is simply describing the pictures in a book without following the written words. Choose books that are sturdy and have large colorful pictures that are not too detailed. Ask your child, "What's this?" and encourage naming and pointing to familiar objects in the book. Sing simple songs and recite nursery rhymes to show the rhythm and pattern of speech.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Young Explorers
Birth to 12 months
P
laying with your baby begins by engaging all of his senses. His
eyes, ears, nose, hands, and mouth are his tools. As he grows,
he learns to use his body to make discoveries. He begins to
reach and grasp (watch out for long hair and dangling ear-
rings!), which allows him to explore toys in new ways. By the
time he’s 9 months, he will understand cause and effect: “I
push the button to make the music play.” He will also understand that things
he can’t see still exist. This means he’ll be looking for the ball that rolled
behind the couch and calling for you when you leave the room. As he
approaches his first birthday, he will be a great communicator, using his ges-
tures, facial expressions, sounds, and maybe even some “words” (such as
“duh” for “dog”). Before you know it, you’ll have a hard time remembering
when he couldn’t talk.

2. Playtime for Babies
I Back and Forth
Coo and talk to your baby. You can imitate her sounds and wait for her to respond.
Encourage her to copy you, too. Show her that pushing the button makes the toy dog
bark or how she can turn the pages of a book.
I Peek-a-Boo
Try hiding behind your hands, a diaper, or a onesie as you dress your baby. Early
on, he may show his pleasure simply by paying close attention. Then he may smile,
kick his legs, and make sounds. By 9 months, he may pull your hands away from
your face to “find” you.
I Sing and Dance
Listen to different kinds of music and dance in different ways to see what your baby
likes best. Sing a favorite song that has been passed down through your family.
Don’t worry about the sound of your voice — he loves to hear you.
I Play Ball
Offer a ball with different colors and textures. Let your baby explore it with all her
senses. Encourage her to see what else she can do with it. This will eventually help
her learn to roll it, drop it in a box, and take it out again.
Q.
My neighbor’s baby loves his
mobile. He kicks his arms
and legs and squeals with
delight. I got the same mobile for my
baby, and he hates it. He turns his
head away and cries every time I turn
it on. What does this mean?
A.
Children have different levels of
tolerance. While some can han-
dle lots of sound and movement
all at once, others find that overwhelming.
It sounds like your baby is telling you that
this mobile is more than he can handle. Try
just letting him look at it without turning
on the music. When he seems to be calm
and enjoying that, try gently moving it so
he can see it turn. If he likes it, you can try
adding the music. Slowly and sensitively
introducing him to more stimulation can
help him build greater tolerance over time.
3. Movers & Shakers
12 to 24 months
P
ossibilities for play grow by leaps and bounds for your young
toddler. She learns to communicate better with gestures,
sounds, and words. She also learns to stand on two feet and
walk forwards and backwards — even run, jump, and climb.
And she’s using her fingers and hands to play with and explore
objects in more complex ways. Children also have preferences
for how they like to explore. Some like lots of action. Others prefer more
calm, quiet play. Watch and you will see the activities your child enjoys.
Toddlers are also entering the world of make-believe. They go from imitating
what they see in “real life” to using their imagination. Whether in the sand-
box, in the bath, or on the kitchen floor, children use their bodies and minds to
learn how this big, exciting, complicated, and wonderful world works.

4. Playtime for Young Toddlers
I Running, Climbing, and Action Games
Oldies but goodies like “Ring Around the Rosie” and “London Bridge” encourage chil-
dren to move, sing, listen, take turns, and cooperate. The park, playground, and back
yard offer chances to run, climb, and play with other children. On a rainy day, try creat-
ing an obstacle course indoors.
I Let’s Do It Again … and Again … and Again …
Through repetition, toddlers figure out how things fit together and work. They
might fill and dump a pail over and over to learn about full and empty and in and
out. They may want you to read the same book, and sing the same song, night after
night. This kind of repetition helps children know what to expect. This gives them a
sense of security and control over their world. It also helps them master new skills,
which boosts their self-confidence.
I Name That Tune
Now that your child can imitate words and melodies, he’ll love to sing songs and
have you read books with rhyming words. Words are easier to learn when they
rhyme or are put to music. See if your toddler knows the next word in the song by
pausing before you sing it. Dance to the music. This is a wonderful way to exercise
those arms and legs and to experience the joy of movement. Offer musical instru-
ments so he can make his own music, too.
I Busy Hands
Young toddlers love to make things work. They use their hands and fingers for
pushing buttons, opening boxes, and turning pages. This allows them to do every-
thing from getting the music box to play their favorite song to exploring a treasured
book. Many children also like to finger paint, color, play with play dough, or
squeeze water out of a sponge.
Q.
I love that my 18-month-old
wants to play with other tod-
dlers, but there always seems
to be a battle over a toy. How can I
help her share?
A.
Sharing is a skill that takes a lot of
time and practice to develop. Most
young toddlers do not know how to
share. It may seem like your daughter should
share because she can do other things, like
understand “no” and follow some directions.
However, young toddlers do not yet have self-
control. And, they are still learning about the
feelings of others. You can help her learn to
share over time by playing turn-taking games
and also by modeling how you share things
with her.
