A Royal Hello from Prince Wednesday and a BIG THANK YOU to Women in Philanthropy of Utah County!

byutv.org

Thank You to Women in Philanthropy of Utah County for their generous support at an "In Her Shoes" luncheon they sponsored Wednesday at the KBYU Broadcasting Building.  All proceeds will go to buy books for our Ready to Learn class!   We partner with KBYU’s Ready to Learn class once a month at the UCHD for the Ready to Learn Class. Anyone can access the Ready to Learn Curriculum here.  

Diena Simmons shared with us how screen time- can be leveraged to help children learn to read.  She explained that when parents and caregivers are active participants in their child’s screen time, they can teach their children some great skills!  Diena also shared many of the great programs on the KBYU Eleven channel that promotes Every Day Learning in young children. 

Parents who are engaged in their children's activities make all the difference in children's learning!

Prince Wednesday is featured on Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, a PBS Kids Show that airs weekdays and Sundays that airs on KBYU Eleven.   Check out the website for some fun interactive play for young kids!

Ready to Learn: Nursery Rhymes!

At the Aspire Parenting Class last week, Janae Moss led a discussion about temper tantrums. The parents came up with some great solutions for what to do when child is acting out. One I'd never heard before was "put the toy in time out instead of the child".  Check out Help me Grow's blog for more great ideas on how to deal with your kid's tantrums!

After the Aspire Parent Group, we had our Ready to Learn class.  In the month of July, Stephanie Anderson introduced an activity involving nursery rhymes. After the class, several moms came up to her and asked where to find rhymes to teach their children.  So this month for the Ready to Learn class, we reviewed some favorites...  

Here are a couple examples:

Five Little Monkeys

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed;

One fell off and bumped his head.

Momma called the doctor and the doctor said,

“No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”

Four little monkeys jumping on the bed

One fell off and bumped his head.

Momma called the doctor and the doctor said,

“No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”

Three little monkeys jumping on the bed

One fell off and bumped his head.

(you know what happens next...)

Hickory Dickory Dock,

The mouse ran up the clock.

The clock struck one,

The mouse ran down.

Hickory Dickory Dock,

The mouse ran up the clock.

The clock struck two,

And down he flew.
