Creative Artist by Ashley

I chose this picture because when I asked the child who it was. The child, said "this is you Mrs. Brantley" with a great big smile on his face. Nonetheless, if a child artist draws a circle and says it's a Power Ranger" , then so be it  because that's what it looks like in his eyes.  I just wish I could have  darkened this picture up some, but could not.

My Favorite Book

The Hungry Caterpillar is one of my favorite books for children because it has a variety of characteristics.  It teaches counting, it's colorful, teaches children what happens if you eat to much, and lastly it teaches children about the transformation of how a Caterpillar turns into Butterfly.

The Extroidinary Brain of The Early Learner

The Preschooler’s brain is very delicate in the early years. The moment the infant is birthed they are introduced to a constant stream of sensory, sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. The brain is an amazing tool because it takes these senses and generates an internal picture of the external world.  The infant is new to only some of these senses because they listened and learned while being nurtured in the womb of their mother   (Perry, 2016) .  Reference Perry, D.
