"They can't just play all day, when are you going to teach them letters to be ready for kindergarten?" You hear parents and probably even a few friends saying this and wished they'd see the value in play.
You’ve got limited time to do this and you need to make what you say/post/display very effective to ADVOCATE FOR PLAY AND MAKE THE LEARNING VISIBLE. These playful sound byte templates combine the the power of visual and written word together for them to see their child and how they learn through play.
Canva is a robust powerful tool that can be used for FREE to help with making the learning visible through newsletters, portfolios, social media posts, blogs, documentation panels that are modern, easy to consume and professionally designed.
Other platforms provide limited customization options which means your newsletter looks just like everyone else's.
It's DRAG AND DROP editor makes it easy to use even for the not so tech savy ones.
We don't want any cookie cutter looking documentation, that is the opposite of its purpose. Templates give you a starting point (no staring at a blank canvas for hours).
Completely customize all elements of the templates to make it uniquely your own and highlight the children's learning.
New to Canva, no worries! For newbies and even seasoned Canva users (like myself) there is always a learning curve. You'll find common tutorial videos to help you get the most out of your templates!
Work smarter not harder! You can use the same template for an email newsletter, a documentation panel or on social media. They are mix and match style to uniquely make the learning visible.
All of the templates can be used with a Free/Paid Canva account and all elements used in the templates are part of the free accounts. Once you have these templates in your Canva account they are yours! Use them over and over again.
Click, drag and drop! It's that simple. This is a user friendly program that will allow you to use your precious time effectively, on the go or if you hit the off the floor jack pot to sped more time on the research and reflection aspects.
Design is just as important as the phots and words you use. These templates are designed to create beautiful, professional and easy to consume artifacts that all protagonists will want to engage with.
These templates are fully customizable (no cookie cutter here) and can uniquely reflect the children’s discoveries, questions, theories you document each and every day.
“They were great! Easy to use too! I really appreciate you creating all of the templates to use. Made the rest so much easier. Thanks again for all that you do for us educators. I know, I personally am very grateful.”
I just love the concept of teaching providers how to show parents what their kids are learning each day. I think parents often don't understand things that providers know and giving them a tool to help them showcase these things is wonderful.
