4 Director's Corner Michelle Saint Hilarie Program Director/ Directora del Programa Child Care Resource & Referral As early childhood educators, we pride ourselves on taking care of others. We ensure that the young children we serve have nutritious meals, are safe, and well-cared for, as well as ensure they have rich opportunities that promote their physical, intellectual, and brain development. But, what do you do to take care of yourself? What commitment do you make to guarantee you are getting enough nutrients and rest, as well as continuously growing and learning in your profession? Being healthy means more than just eating right or exercising. It also means that you are continuously gaining new knowledge or skills by seeking professional opportunities that enhance your own learning. Bulletin after Bulletin, season after season, we make a commitment to ensure that there is a wealth of professional development opportunities being offered that hopefully meet your needs as an early childhood educator. We often wonder, how intentional and committed are you to ensuring you are continually growing and learning? How do you decide which professional development opportunities you will attend, or how many you are willing to take each year above and beyond the minimum requirements set forth by licensing or certification? We encourage you to take a moment to reflect on these questions, as well as your personal and professional goals. Remember, learning does not stop just because you ve finished school, or you ve met your minimum training hours. We are all life-long learners! Happy Spring! Sincerely, Michelle Como educadores de infancia temprana, nos enorgullecemos en cuidar de los demás. Nos aseguramos de que los niños que servimos tienen comidas nutritivas, son seguros y bien cuidados, así como nos aseguramos que tengan ricas oportunidades que promuevan su desarrollo cerebral, intelectual y físico. Pero, qué haces para cuidar de ti mismo? Qué compromiso hace para garantizar que está recibiendo suficientes nutrientes y descanso, así como continuamente creciendo y aprendiendo en su profesión? Estar sano significa más que sólo comer bien o hacer ejercicio. También significa que continuamente están adquiriendo nuevos conocimientos o habilidades al buscar oportunidades profesionales que mejoran su propio aprendizaje. Boletín tras boletín, temporada tras temporada, hacemos un compromiso de asegurar que ofrezcamos una amplia variedad de oportunidades de desarrollo profesional con esperanza de satisfacer sus necesidades como educadora infantil. A menudo nos preguntamos, qué tan intencional y comprometido es usted para garantizar que está continuamente creciendo y aprendiendo? Cómo se decide a que oportunidades de desarrollo profesional asistirá, o cuántos está dispuesto a tomar cada año más allá de los requisitos mínimos establecidos por la licenciatura o certificación? Le recomendamos que tome un momento para reflexionar sobre estas preguntas, así como sus metas personales y profesionales. Recuerde, el aprendizaje no se detiene sólo porque haya terminado la escuela, o cumplido sus horas mínimas de entrenamiento. Somos estudiantes de toda la vida! Feliz primavera! Sinceramente, Michelle Child Care Resource & Referral

6 All Hands On Deck: Getting Kids Involved By Megan Winkler, a contributor for Earth911.com When you talk about ensuring a healthy world for tomorrow, the focus is always on future generations, namely, our kids. Although parents and teachers aren t the only people reducing, reusing and recycling, there are always questions about how to get kids involved in the act so that they will one day adopt green lifestyles as adults. Well, I m here to tell you that it is as simple as setting a good example and taking a little extra time to teach kids about recycling. Set a Good Example There s nothing more overzealous than a grade school kid with a new cause to adopt. I m serious: my nineyear-old has become a one-girl anti-drug campaign all by herself thanks to Red Ribbon Week. If I were to give her the goal of recycling, she d be on me like white on rice to make sure every little bit of paper I touched ended up in the recycle bin. Hmm... that s an idea! Simply taking the time to talk about recycling will get your kids thinking about it, but the best thing we can do as parents (and teachers, when applicable) is to set a good example. We need to be doing our part. Let your kids see you recycling soda bottles and cardboard boxes. Have them help you clean house with some DIY cleaning products. Start a compost pile and actually use it. If staying away from animal products is important to you, then make sure you re buying vegan leather shoes and belts. Kids are sponges and they really do learn by example, so the good news is that if you re already earth-conscious, chances are your kids are too. Get Kids Hands On With Recycling It may seem obvious, but getting kids involved in recycling activities helps them to take ownership of the process. One of my favorite things to do with my daughter is to go through her toys periodically and send the unused ones off to the thrift store. It s fun for her to sort through these items to figure out what she really wants, and it makes mama very happy to be rid of some clutter. Now that she is older, she understands that it s necessary to clear stuff out from time to time. When she was younger, I had to get a little trickier about it. Younger children are more apt to part with prized possessions you know, the ones they haven t played with in months but are now suddenly the best toys ever if they know that they ll get something to replace them. Yard sales are great for this. Price everything out beforehand, and when one of the kids toys is purchased, document the amount in a notebook. Depending on how much they are getting rid of, your kids may actually rack up a decent amount of money. When I did this with my daughter a couple of years ago, she earned about $25. We then took that money and bought two new toys to replace the dozen or so that we sold. I ll admit that I m kind of cheap when it comes to kids toys. My Mini Me had a few really nice toys that I just couldn t bear to see sent off to Goodwill or sold for pennies at a yard sale. For these toys, my daughter and I decided whom they should go to. A couple of her little friends benefitted from some very nice donated toys that were in like-new condition. Just be sure to check with the parents before you show up at their door with a boxful of toys. Recycling Activities at School Recycling doesn t have to happen only at home. Teachers are with our kids for a very significant portion of their day, so the opportunity to teach recycling is right there! Elementary school teachers can place recycling bins in their classrooms to encourage recycling. Plan crafts that call for reused magazines and newspapers collected from students homes. Be sure to talk about the reuse of these items so that the significance isn t lost on little ones. Child Care Resource & Referral

7 Middle and high school kids can form recycling programs and environmental clubs with the help of faculty mentors. To get a recycling program started at your school, have students start counting the numbers of cans and bottles thrown away at lunchtime. This can be done by collecting the discarded containers themselves or by taking a tally at the end of the lunch period. Then, have them present the numbers to the principal: how many containers aren t being recycled and the part that the school can play in making the world better in your community. Do a little research and find a company that will pick up recycling from the school. Provide bins around the cafeteria, or throughout the building, and spread the word so the rest of the student body knows what s going on. Consider attaching a reward to the initiative, such as an ice cream party, to serve as a motivator. High school students who want to make a difference can form an environmental club. Under the direction of a faculty advisor, the club can take on campaigns and launch projects, like the recycling project mentioned above or a local roadside cleanup day, to make the world better. Help Kids Love The Outdoors When you love something, you tend to be better at taking care of it. The same is true for kids and the environment. Sit outdoors with your kids to have dinner or lay out under the stars with an astronomy book. Have them keep a nature journal in which they can document the things they observe on a hiking trail, or even in your own backyard. Encourage them to observe the world around them. You ll begin to see them take ownership of the earth, and that s a promising beginning to future eco-conscious living.

8 Manos a la obra::involucrando a los Ninos -- Por Megan Winkler, una colaboradora de Earth911.com Cuando hablas de garantizar un mundo sano para mañana, el enfoque siempre está en las generaciones futuras, es decir, nuestros hijos. Aunque los padres y maestros no son los únicos reduciendo, reutilizando y reciclando, siempre hay preguntas sobre cómo involucrar a los niños en el acto para que algún día adopten estilos de vida ecologistas como adultos. Bueno, estoy aquí para decirte que es tan sencillo como dar un buen ejemplo y tomar un poco de tiempo para enseñarle a los niños sobre el reciclaje. Ponga Un Buen Ejemplo No hay nada más entusiasta que un niño de primaria con una nueva causa que adoptar. Lo digo en serio: mi hija de nueve años de edad se ha convertido en una campaña solitaria contra las drogas gracias a la semana del listón rojo. Si fuera a darle la meta de reciclaje, estaría encima de mí para asegurarse de que cada pedacito de papel que toqué acabara en el recipiente de reciclaje. Hmm... esa es una idea! Simplemente tomándose el tiempo para hablar sobre el reciclaje hará que sus hijos piensen en ello, pero lo mejor que podemos hacer como padres (y los maestros, cuando sea aplicable) es ser un buen ejemplo. Tenemos que hacer nuestra parte. Deje que sus niños vean que recicla botellas de soda y cajas de cartón. Póngalos a que ayuden a limpiar la casa con algunos productos de limpieza hechos en casa. Comience un altero de compostaje y realmente úselo. Si mantenerse alejado de productos de origen animal es importante para usted, entonces asegúrese de comprar cinturones y zapatos de cuero veganos. Los niños son esponjas y realmente aprenden con el ejemplo, así que las buenas noticias son que si ya es consciente de la tierra, las posibilidades son que sus niños también lo son. Consiga Que Los Niños Practiquen El Reciclaje Puede parecer obvio, pero involucrar a niños en las actividades de reciclaje les ayuda a tomar posesión del proceso. Una de mis cosas preferidas de hacer con mi hija es revisar periódicamente sus juguetes y enviar los que no se utilizan a la tienda de segunda. Es divertido para ella buscar por sus cosas y averiguar lo que realmente quiere y hace a mamá muy feliz de deshacerse de algún desorden. Ahora que es mayor, ella entiende que es necesario limpiar cosas de vez en cuando. Cuando era más joven, tenía que engañarla un poco. Los niños más pequeños son más aptos a separarse de posesiones "apreciadas" ya sabe, las que no ha jugado con ellas en meses pero ahora de repente los mejores juguetes que nunca si saben que conseguirán algo para reemplazarlos. Ventas de garaje son ideales para esto. Póngale precio a todo antes de tiempo y cuando uno de los juguetes de los niños es comprado, documente la cantidad en un cuaderno. Dependiendo de cuánto se están deshaciendo, sus hijos realmente pueden acumular una buena cantidad de dinero. Cuando lo hice con mi hija un par de años atrás, gano alrededor de $25. Luego tomamos el dinero y compró dos juguetes nuevos para reemplazar más o menos la docena que habíamos vendido. Admito que soy algo tacaña cuando se trata de los juguetes de niños. Mi miniatura tenía algunos juguetes muy lindos que no podía soportar verlos ir a Goodwill o vendidos por unos centavos en una venta de garaje. Para estos juguetes, mi hija y yo decidimos a quien deben de ir. Un par de sus amiguitos beneficiaron de algunos juguetes lindos que se encontraban en condiciones como nuevas. Sólo asegúrese de consultar con los padres antes de aparecer en su puerta con una caja de juguetes. Actividades de Reciclaje en La Escuela El reciclaje no tiene que pasar solo en casa. Maestros están con nuestros hijos para una parte muy significativa de su día, así que la oportunidad de enseñar reciclaje está ahí! Los maestros de escuela primaria pueden colocar contenedores de reciclaje en sus salones para fomentar el reciclaje. Planee artesanías que usen revistas reutilizadas y periódicos recopilados de hogares de los estudiantes. Asegúrese de hablar acerca de la reutilización de estas piezas para que el significado no se pierda en los más pequeños. Child Care Resource & Referral

9 Niños de escuela secundaria y preparatoria pueden formar programas de reciclaje y clubes ambientales con la ayuda de maestros. Para comenzar un programa de reciclaje en su escuela, haga que los estudiantes comiencen a contar el número de latas y botellas tiradas durante la hora de almuerzo. Esto se puede hacer recogiendo los envases desechados o tomando un recuento al final de la hora del almuerzo. Entonces, que presenten los números al director, cuántos contenedores no se reciclan y el papel que la escuela puede tomar creando un mundo mejor en su comunidad. Investigue un poco y encuentre una empresa que vaya a recoger el reciclaje de la escuela. Proporcione contenedores alrededor de la cafetería, o en todo el edificio y corra la voz para que el resto del alumnado sepa lo que está pasando. Considere la posibilidad de fijar una recompensa a la iniciativa, como una fiesta de helados, para servir como un motivador. Los estudiantes de la preparatoria que quieren hacer una diferencia pueden formar un club del medio ambiente. Bajo la dirección de un asesor de la facultad, el club puede emprender campañas y lanzamientos de proyectos, como el proyecto de reciclaje mencionado anteriormente o un día de limpieza a la orilla de la carretera local, para hacer un mundo mejor. Ayude a Niños Amar el Aire Libre Cuando amas algo, tiendes a cuidarlo mejor. Lo mismo es cierto para los niños y el medio ambiente. Siéntese al aire libre con sus hijos a cenar o acuéstese bajo las estrellas con un libro de Astronomía. Haga que tengan un diario de la naturaleza en el que pueden documentar las cosas que se observan en una excursión, o incluso en su propio patio trasero. Anímelos a observar el mundo que les rodea. Empezarás a verlos tomar posesión de la tierra, y eso es un comienzo prometedor a un futuro de vida eco-consciente. Este artículo fue publicado primero por Para más consejos visite la pagina.
