Room 209A/B, Anaheim Convention Center
See how the excitement of BIG activities energizes the entire curriculum while meeting standards. Both experienced teachers and those new to the profession will learn how to go beyond hands-on activities and introduce arms-on, legs-on, whole-child learning. Using inquiry-based science to connect math, literacy, language, art, movement and drama engages children and increases skill building. Gain confidence in your ability to do meaningful science activities based on children's interests to create a foundation for high-level thinking. Discover how children can observe, pose questions, try out ideas, quantify their observations and share their thoughts, all while having fun. You will see that you don't need to be a science expert. All you need is a willingness to say, "Let's try it and find out." Learn how to weave BIG math activities into science topics to help children get a real "feel" for numbers. Try innovative techniques to introduce vocabulary words such as using American Sign Language. Learn how to boost literacy by incorporating children's dictation, stories, poems and songs into curriculum topics. An extensive slide show of photos from the presenters' classroom will demonstrate numerous practical activities that you can take back to your program. See how it's possible to do BIG activities even in small classrooms with limited time and money. Discover how thinking BIG means learning BIG. | | Times: | 8:30AM - 9:30AM | | Session Title: | Thinking BIG, learning BIG: Connecting science, math, literacy, and language | | Book(s) Featured: | Thinking BIG, Learning BIG: Connecting Science, Math, Literacy and Language in Early Childhood |

Hilton Anaheim, Malibu Room
The presentation will build upon the work of such historical figures as Bethune, Terrell, and Hill, Ingram, and Bertram [who worked collegially with colleagues of all races in Kentucky] and contemporary figures such as Lee, Osborn, and Ward [who took culturally relevant early childhood education and teacher education to a higher level]. It will examine practices and curricula that were detrimental to young boys of color [See for example Gilliam]. Highlights of the positive work done in programs for four-and-five-year-olds [for example Head Start], primary level programs, and early childhood teacher education through the decades of early education in the U.S. in support of boys of color will be reviewed. Practitioners working with children and teacher educators will discover research-based ideas that can be incorporated into their own reflective practice | | Times: | 9:00AM - 5:00PM | | Session Title: | The educational progress of young Black boys: An examination of past and current early childhood practices in the United States |

Anaheim Marriott, Platinum Ballroom 2
Presenters will share their experiences of how to design and set up environments that support activities and abilities of toddlers as well as strategies effecting positive team support. Participants will learn that relationships are the key to quality interactions between children and caregivers in group care environments. When designing environments in support of relation-based care, presenters found that engaging and supporting staff strengths and initiative were important to success in developing toddler environments to meet NAEYC Standards for Accreditation. The emotional transformation of staff became a key component to the success of the center in meeting NAEYC Standards for Accreditation. Research and experience have shown the presenters the importance of unifying staff toward the common goal of achieving and maintaining quality environments for toddlers. Participants will learn the basic principles of relation-based care, the importance of caregiving environments, and gain an understanding of how to strengthen and involve staff while working toward the common goal of meeting NAEYC Accreditation Standards. Strategies for building relationships among staff, and between staff and children will be identified and explored. | | Times: | 10:00AM - 11:30AM | | Session Title: | Extreme makeover: Changing toddler environments to support relationship-based care practices |

11/5/2010 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Room 201C/D, Anaheim Convention Center
This workshop is for early childhood educators, including beginning and experienced preschool teachers, administrators, and family home child care providers who want to do science in their program. Expand the spontaneous inquiry your students engage in by using science talk to increase their wondering, asking questions, planning investigations, documenting work, thinking about what happened, and communicating their understanding. Learn how to structure investigations to encourage inquisitiveness and guide children in developing both science process skills and an understanding of specific content. Presenters “talk the talk” while you “walk the walk” by doing activities for three lessons, Bird Shape Rubbings, What Do Seeds Need, and Mixing Colors, with basic science content across all disciplines-Earth, life, and physical science-and connections to literacy and numeracy. In each lesson we do, participants are invited to be active in the hands-on investigations using materials appropriate for young children to experience how inquiry enhances thinking and learning. We will observe, predict, experiment, ask questions, classify, reproduce results to verify the nature of the material, record data, count, and discuss what we learn. Handouts for all the lessons will be provided to all participants, including lists of resources and book suggestions, sample journal, and lesson plans. Scientists ask questions, pose possible responses, test their ideas and draw personal conclusions. Teachers can engage young children in age level appropriate strategies that provide similar experiences. These experiences are fun and are the building blocks for further studies providing greater depth of understanding of the nature of science. | | Times: | 2:00PM - 3:30PM | | Session Title: | This is what young scientists can do: Engaging in and talking about hands-on inquiry activities to bring out the best thinking in your young scientists | | Book(s) Featured: | Science Is Simple |

The authors and illustrators, all leaders in the field,, will present how they create their books, what children have said and asked about their books, and share strategies to use their books with children. Additionally, they will share their own journey as writers, writing for publication and experiences in working with children in school.
