The Wordy Repertoire Of Children

image

By age three, children have a repertoire of 300 words. By age four, 1000 words. By age five, 6000 words. That’s what we learned from Dr. Lydia H. Soifer, Ph.D. at today’s Wonderplay™ Early Childhood Conference, which we liveblogged throughout the day.

You can access all the information we shared, on our Storify page. And here’s another eyeopener, from Dr. JoAnn Deak, Ph.D: “By the time kids are five, 50% of their time is spent on video/visual input. The brain isn’t designed for that.”

Thanks to all our the learning professionals, leaders in education, child & family development, researchers and audience—at 92Y and online, who made today so successful. We’ll have the complete webcast available for viewing online, soon.

92Y Video: Shababa Saturday Mornings

image

In 2007, Shababa at 92nd Street Y started as a musical Shabbat gathering of a handful of families singing with Karina in a corner of the 92Y lobby. It rapidly became a vibrant, bursting community, where families with young children are a part of an intergenerational, inclusive Jewish experience, as seen in the video below, filmed at Shababa Saturday Mornings:

    Passport NYC Shablog: Week 3

    image

    Every Friday we’ll be posting a recap of the previous week’s activities in our Passport NYC Camp.

    Shabbat Shalom and welcome to the Passport NYC First Session Finale Shablog! We really can not believe how quickly these three weeks have flown by. It was just yesterday we were wearing name tags trying our hardest to put our best foot forward to meet new people and match names to faces. Look where we are now…tears building up as we pack bags, clean dorm rooms and prepare for our final Havdalah service together. We’ve celebrated three Shabbats within our Mishpacha and it’s hard to believe that this Passport NYC family will be saying goodbye tomorrow. This has honestly been an incredible experience. A dream that has come to life (Alan Saltzs’ dream to be exact). This community that we have developed is made up of 60 different personalities. 60 individuals who have learned to accept one another for who they are. They have learned to appreciate one another and most of all learned to learn from one another. To have had the opportunity to watch you all develop the skills that you have, over the past three weeks is remarkable. Your passion for your specialties, for life and for each others success is inspiring. We admire each and every one of you and could not be more proud of the accomplishments that you have showcased, not only in our Specialty Showcase but throughout your entire Passport NYC experience. We hope to have you join us once again in the summers to come! Please keep in touch, And hopefully throughout the winter months we will make appearances within your home towns to visit with you, your family and your friends! With much love and appreciation to our pioneer families, We wish you a fabulous rest of your summer! And, don’t you worry- there will be more Shablogs to come during the 2nd Session…
