How did you find the
activities?
What are the identified
7K for children in Filipino
words?
Community of Learners Foundation
How do these essential
needs of children
support the child’s
growth and learning
development?
Community of Learners Foundation
BASIC NEEDS
Every child has basic needs that have
to be met: food, health care,
protection from harm or injury,
affection, interaction, stimulation
and learning through exploration
and discovery.
Community of Learners Foundation
The quality of care that the
child receives from
conception, birth and
throughout childhood will
determine whether a child
will develop the best
possible way.
Community of Learners Foundation
kalinga
Madaling magalit, matakot at maiyak
ang mga bata. Kailangan sagana sa
pasensiya, pag-unawa at simpatiya sa
damdamin ng bata ang magulang at
iba pang miyembro ng pamilya.
Community of Learners Foundation
Early Care
Early care and nurturing
have a decisive and
long-lasting impact on
how people develop,
their ability to learn, and
their capacity to regulate
emotions.
Early experience affects
how young children deal
with stress later in life Community of Learners Foundation
EXTREME STRESS
Children who
experience
extreme stress in
their earliest years
are at greater risk
than peers without
stress.
Community of Learners Foundation
Taking On Challenges
We should do more than help
children COPE with stress. We
need to help them learn to take
on challenges.
Community of Learners Foundation
Taking On Challenges
Children who are willing to take
on challenges (instead of
avoiding them or simply coping
with them) do better in school
and in life.
Community of Learners Foundation
kausap
Ang pag-unlad ng kanyang pananalita ay
susi sa mga susunod pang yugto ng pag-
unlad at pagkatuto.
Makakabuti sa bata ang palaging
kinakausap at paghikayat ng makihalo-bilo,
makipaglaro sa kapwa bata.
Community of Learners Foundation
 Children need to hone both listening
and speaking skills.
Community of Learners Foundation
Children need opportunities to
engage in meaningful
conversations with peers in
various social contexts.
Community of Learners Foundation
Make reading an integral part of
our classroom life as this is a
pathway to better
communication skills.
Community of Learners Foundation
Community of Learners Foundation
kasama
Para siguradong ligtas at nagagabayan
ang bata, mahalaga ang pamilya.
Ang mga magulang, kapatid at kamag-
anak ay ang mga unang guro at taga-
pag-alaga ng bata.
Mula sa pakikipagugnay sa pamilya at
kapwa bata, umuunlad ang bata.
Community of Learners Foundation
Community of Learners Foundation
kalaro at panahon maglaro
Mahalaga ang paglalaro sa pag-unlad ng
isang bata. Ang paglalaro ay isang
magandang paraan upang maging bihasa
ang bata sa pananalita, pag-iisip at
pagsasa-ayos ng kanyang kaisipan.
Natututo siya tungkol sa mundong
kanyang ginagalawan.Community of Learners Foundation
Children learn
through play.
Play contributes to
the development
of representational
thinking as the
child represents
ideas, thoughts
and feelings
through play.
Community of Learners Foundation
 Through play, a
child learns to deal
with different
feelings, to interact
with others, to
resolve problems
and conflicts and
to gain a feeling of
competence.
 Through play,
children develop
their creativity and
imagination.
Community of Learners Foundation
Community of Learners Foundation
SOCIAL INTERACTION
Children learn
through social
interaction with
children.
*strong links between
cognitive
development and
socialization
Community of Learners Foundation
FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS
Social interaction lays the
foundation for certain
capabilities which are all
related to primary school
success:
reciprocity, mutual
respect, cooperation,
appreciation for
individual differences,
awareness of rules and
acceptable conventions
or behavior.
Community of Learners Foundation
kalusugan
Mas maganda ang pag-unlad ng mga
batang malusog at masaya.
Gawing ligtas at malinis ang katawan at
kapaligiran upang maging malusog ang
bata.
Bigyan ng tama at wastong pagkain at
hikayatin silang kumain ng mabuti.
Community of Learners Foundation
All children need a physically
active, healthy lifestyle,
beginning in their early years.
Unfortunately, poor nutrition,
inactivity, childhood obesity
and declining fitness are
common.
Community of Learners Foundation
 Psychological Benefits of Physical activity :
improving their control over symptoms of
anxiety and depression; assisting in social
development by providing opportunities
for self-expression, building self-
confidence, social interaction and
integration.
Community of Learners Foundation
Adequate Nutrition
Personal Hygiene
Environmental Care
and Protection
Immunization
Community of Learners Foundation
Exercise increases
oxygen intake,
improves short term
memory, makes
reaction time faster,
increases levels of
creativity.
Cross lateral movements
enhances the
connection between
the left and right sides
of the brain.
Community of Learners Foundation
Pandama, kasangkapan para matuto -
paningin, pandinig, pang-amoy, pang-tikim at
pandama
Gaya-gaya, buti nga para matuto!
Pakikipagkapwa-tao
Kapaligiran at kakayahan
Mula sa bahay, day care o kindergarten,
paaralan - panghabang-buhay na pagkatuto.
Kakayahan at kaalaman
Community of Learners Foundation
Patterns & Intelligence
The brain thrives on making and detecting
patterns as the brain is not designed for
linear, one-path thought
The ability to see patterns and make
relationships of the patterns is the essence
of intelligence.
Community of Learners Foundation
Making Connections
Making connections is at the heart of
learning—figuring out what’s the same and
what’s different—and making unusual
connections is at the core of creativity.
Community of Learners Foundation
Making Connections
In a world where information is so
accessible, it is the people who can see
connections who are able to go beyond
knowing information to using this
information well.
Community of Learners Foundation
EMOTION  ATENTION  MEMORY
When information is
connected with an
emotion, it receives
a high priority for
processing
When emotions are
present, hormones
of the brain act like
memory fixatives
Community of Learners Foundation
Sense and Meaning
For information to be
stored in long term
memory,
information must
make sense (learner
can fit the information
into existing
understanding) and it
must have
meaning (information
is relevant to learner)
Community of Learners Foundation
Practice makes permanent
 10% chance of
remembering
something done
once in 30 days,
 90% chance of
remembering
something done 6
times in 30 days
Community of Learners Foundation
Laughter & A Positive Climate
Laughter increases
white blood cell
activity and
changes the
chemical
balance of the
blood.
Community of Learners Foundation
Laughter & A Positive Climate
Production of
chemicals (e.g.
adrenaline,
dopamine) is
needed for
alertness and
memory
Community of Learners Foundation
Kapaligirang
mapagpayaman
sa karanasan
Hindi laruan at kasangkapan–
paglalaro, kalaro, pagkilos
Mapagpayaman: karanasan at
imahinasyon at tulungan silang
maging mapag-likha.
Community of Learners Foundation
Hand-Brain Connection
Using fingers
stimulates the
brain
• tactile stimulation
positively affects
learning
• manipulating
fingers keeps a
person mentally
alert
Community of Learners Foundation
Novelty
The brain pays closer
attention to things
and activities that
are new and
different.
Community of Learners Foundation
Choices
Providing choices makes
children feel more
positive about their
work and positive
feelings trigger release
of endorphins which
enhance functioning
of brain connections.
Community of Learners Foundation
Problem-solving
Problem-solving
causes synapses to
form, chemicals to
activate, blood
flow to increase.
Community of Learners Foundation
