Lindsay Francese replied to ALYSON CARROLL's discussion Chapter 8- Einstein Never Used Flashlights in the group Somers Point TeachersLindsay Francese replied to Kristie Leonard's discussion Einstein Never Used Flash Cards Ch 6 The Quest to Define Intelligence in the group Somers Point Teachers"Throughout this book, and again in this chapter the author stresses the importance of parents having conversations and reading to their children. There is evidence of this in my classroom. It is easy for me to identify the children whose parents do…"

Julie replied to Lindsay Francese's discussion Einstien Never Used Flash Cards Ch. 4 Language the Power of Babble in the group Somers Point Teachers"Now that we are finally back in school it was great to see the students again, but spending so much time at home, you can truly see the child in his or her natural state. I had asked a certain child to come up to the board and be my reader of the…"
Lindsay Francese replied to Nicole Medvedik's discussion Chapter 5: Einstein Never Used Flash Cards in the group Somers Point Teachers"This chapter would be especially valuable for parents. It reassures parents who are providing their children with meaningful learning experiences, and gives parents who may not be as active in their child’s learning great ways to get involved…"
Nicole Stanewich replied to Lindsay Francese's discussion Einstien Never Used Flash Cards Ch. 4 Language the Power of Babble in the group Somers Point Teachers"I enjoyed this chapter. I'm going to pass this book along to a friend of mine with young children so she can do some of the experiments. I agree that the students in our district come from homes where parents are not having enough positive…"

Michelle Baltz replied to Lindsay Francese's discussion Einstien Never Used Flash Cards Ch. 4 Language the Power of Babble in the group Somers Point Teachers"I am not in this book club, but I have to chime in. It is very important to have parents who communicate with children, and it is has been stated in many studies that many children from low SES backgrounds do not have parents who communicate with…"
Susan Dugan replied to Lindsay Francese's discussion Einstien Never Used Flash Cards Ch. 4 Language the Power of Babble in the group Somers Point Teachers"Yes, I was really impressed with how long a baby will persist with attempting to communicate even at 11 mos. I think the baby gave the mother 7 opportunities to understand that she wanted the sponge. I remember my youngest niece was delayed in…"
ALYSON CARROLL replied to Lindsay Francese's discussion Einstien Never Used Flash Cards Ch. 4 Language the Power of Babble in the group Somers Point Teachers"I love this chapter of the book. It is especially interesting to me because I am working with young children who have difficulties/delays with language and communication. I like the part of this chapter where the authors talk about the number of…"
Nicole Medvedik replied to Lindsay Francese's discussion Einstien Never Used Flash Cards Ch. 4 Language the Power of Babble in the group Somers Point Teachers"As the chapter states, language will develop naturally over time. It is so important for parents to have conversations with their children, to have an interest in what they have to say. As Jane stated, parents are so busy just getting through the…"
Cindy Stafford replied to Lindsay Francese's discussion Einstien Never Used Flash Cards Ch. 4 Language the Power of Babble in the group Somers Point Teachers"The idea that stood out in this chapter was that parents don't have to teach language to their children but they do need to be active partners in the process. We can also apply this idea to our classroom teaching. I have finally gotten sick of…"
Jane Leonardo replied to Lindsay Francese's discussion Einstien Never Used Flash Cards Ch. 4 Language the Power of Babble in the group Somers Point Teachers"I thought this chapter was very valuable also. I know a number of parents who have "signed" with their children and thought it interesting to read that researchers have found that children who learn baby signs become more advanced…"

Lindsay Francese replied to Jane Leonardo's discussion Einstein Never Used Flashcards...Chapter 3. Playing with numbers, How children learn about Quantity in the group Somers Point Teachers"After reading chapter three I found myself repeating, “Our children are doing mathematics all the time!” I thought about the things my students do on a daily basis. Math is everywhere and in everything we do; from the start of our day…"
Lindsay Francese replied to Susan Dugan's discussion Einstein Didn't Use Flashcards in the group Somers Point Teachers"I have really enjoyed reading the first two chapters of this book.
