Backwards Week

This weeks theme: Backwards Week
This weeks Concept: General Directionality

Did you know that children have to learn concepts about direction and spatial awareness by using their bodies first? They can most easily understand movements like forward, sideways, and backwards by moving their bodies in these directions. They also learn relationships regarding space such as near, far, around and on by seeing their body in relationship to another object. You can help your child learn and understand these concepts by using words to describe the direction and space they are using. Once they understand these concepts, they can apply them to other objects in their world. Remember, you are their number one teacher, so talk to your child and help them learn and increase their vocabulary.
