Cognitive: Yasmine's Reflection on the 3 videos that I picked.

          Of all  sixteen videos, the three that I have picked are:
     First, The promise to Georgia's children- Rollins Center for Language and Literacy.  In that video I have learn that we should watch the word we use around these young children.  That teacher was telling the kids to catch a bubble as to tell them to keep quiet, that wasn't the right word to use to talk to them. the children need us to give their voices power, listen to them and their need, try to understand what they want , not to get frustrating when they are acting like kid of their age and developmentally appropriate. we need to get down on their level.
     The second one is :  Scaffolding language Skills. I have learn that children who are exposed to rich in oral language learn to communicate more effectively than those who aren't exposed to rich in oral environment.  It is important to develop a classroom with rich language.  Arrange the classroom in a way that promote language feature of rich class.  That includes: Daily read-aloud sessions, ask open questions, encourage children to describe events and retell stories, modeling the use of new words, discussing words meaning.  By doing these , the teacher is able to scaffold children language development.  Building on what the child is already able to do.  Scaffolding moves the child from lower to higher level of languages.
   Thirdly, Saving brains, A grand challenge. That video taught me a lot about how to nurture kid from infancy to growth, how that affect their brain development. There are few key element at the beginning o kid's life.  The brain becomes richer and more networked. there are positive things we can do to help young brains. Considering negative things to  build up positive things that happens in their lives.  Negative includes extraordinary stress such as unexpected death, natural disaster, serious illness or injury, a contentious divorce.  Those are tolerable because if the child has protective relationships, it creates a significant opportunity for them to have a sense of control and adaptive copings.
