We know labels can be placed on all children… especially black and brown kiddos 💪🏾 Love this!

Posted • "My boys are A LOT 🤪 endless energy. One million things to say. Five billion things they need.

And I know the labels that could be placed on them in a public school setting. Labels that could be absolutely detrimental to their confidence and change the way they see themselves for life!

But at home, where I am the teacher, I get to choose the types of “labels” placed on them 💛

Wild? No… EXCITED!
Disruptive? No… FULL OF IDEAS!
Class clown? No.. HILARIOUS!

Words are powerful friends 👍🏼" - Eden

Such a great reminder that our words are powerful and as their mamas and teachers we get the awesome privilege to decide what those words will be 👏

Thanks so much so encouraging homeschool mama Eden for sharing this with us🙌🏼

Sensory Activities for our children is very important. It builds fine motor skills and introduces them to different materials.

Sensory activities can be found in the general pre-k curriculum but should not be excluded as children age. I still love the feel of a squash leaf… or the smell of essential oils ❤️❤️

Here are some tips to create cost effective sensorial stations at home:

1. Get a container (it can be a plastic bin, shoe box, cookie sheet, old (and clean take out container)
2. Fill with one of the following: beans, rice, water, ice, cereal (for toddlers), play dough, homemade salt dough, etc…
3. Grab some tongs (mini ones), a meat mallet (for the ice), or let them use their hands.
4. Give them a goal (for the older toddlers) or let them free play

What are some examples of sensory play You use?
