Our third-block, first-year students worked hard during all lunch periods today, painting faces to help everyone get ready for tonight’s big game! All proceeds will help fund travel expenses for our FTA and FCCLA state competitions. Great job, everyone! 🎨🐺

Our Wallace CHD 202 students finished the week by teaching us about guided play and puppetry experiences!

Ja’Ziyah led a puppet-making workshop where students designed their own puppets and performed an introduction using appropriate movement and voice. Amaris, Keairah, and Yah’Mece presented a puppet problem-solving theater and used their handmade puppets to teach a preschool social-emotional lesson. Taylor taught us about the different stages of play, from solitary play all the way to cooperative play!

Great job, ladies! 👏🎭

Today was a very full day, and each class deserves its own post!

Our first-year, first-block students finished their standards for the week after learning about the Fundamental 5 and ATOT (Alabama Teacher Observation Tool), so we decided to have a little Fun Friday! They participated in team-building parachute games and then explored a variety of children’s games independently or with a partner.

Afterward, they decided to create game-day posters for tonight’s big game. Great job, everyone! ❤️🐺

Thank you Mrs. Kishia Saffold, owner of Kiddie Care Learning Center, for coming to speak to our first year Foundations in Education students. Not only did she explain the expectations for our visits to her facility, she taught these Future Teachers a lot about the development of infants and toddlers. She explained the importance of finger plays and how they are important with fine motor skills such as pencil grasp. Kiddie Care Learning Center

Our Wallace CHD 202 students brought storytime to life! 📚✨ Each student planned and presented an interactive storytime using books, puppets, props, and other visual aids. Their classmates became the “preschoolers” as they practiced engaging introductions, expressive reading, audience participation, open-ended questions, and follow-up activities—all while supporting young children’s language and literacy development! 🍎🧸👏 Child Development Program-Wallace Community College

Our Wallace CHD 100 students became early-childhood entrepreneurs by designing their own childcare programs! Each team was assigned a different type of program, including childcare centers, family-childcare homes, Head Start, Montessori, laboratory schools, school-age programs, employer-sponsored childcare, and parent cooperatives.

Students created displays highlighting their program’s hours, funding, staff qualifications, daily schedule, learning activities, health and safety procedures, family involvement, and how they would meet children’s developmental needs.

We finished the project with a “Childcare Fair!” Half of the students served as center directors and promoted their programs, while the others acted as parents, toured the displays, asked questions, and completed evaluation forms. Then they switched roles!

This was such a fun, hands-on way for our future teachers to practice creativity, teamwork, communication, and real-world decision-making! 🧸📚🍎✨ Child Development Program-Wallace Community College
