New from the Meeting

We talked about the following from the Oct. Meeting. First we will be doing sensory tables at the Halloween Festival. That will be Oct. 30th. 12 to 2 pm. If you can help us, show up at 10:30am at the Preschool Lab to help us gather items to take to the Rec Center. Next we talked about Fundraiser Ideas to do in November and December. I really want to have a Bake Sale and sell items at the Student Union Building on Campus. We will find out what we need to do to accomplish this. We can make the items at the lab. Let me know if you'd be interested in doing this with me. In December we are interested in having a Christmas shopping fun day for children while parents do their shopping. We will talk more about this in Novemeber, but I think parents would be really interested in something like this.

October Meeting

We will have our next student club meeting at the preschool lab on Tuesday, October 19th. Future meetings will be held on the third Tuesday of each month. We will meet at 1:00 and lunch will be provided. We will discuss the following topics: · Club approval from CSI · NAEYC membership (forms available) · Halloween festival (think about a booth you want to do for children) · Fundraisers UPDATE: Our meeting went well. We talked about many things. I will post about it next.

Sept Meeting

Thanks to all who came to our Sept. meeting for the club. It was a great turn out. We discussed what we needed to become affiliated with CSI in order to receive funding and took our club photo. We also talked about what we needed for our SRAEYC Conference on Oct. 1 and 2. Invite those you know to come to this. It will be great. Great topic and great speaker to teach us.
We also elected a new co-president. Welcome Christine Knight to the committee. Her insight to children's education will be welcomed.

Jennifer has submitted paperwork for CSI to become a club there. Our club name there will be Early Childhood Education Club or ECE Club.

Our next meeting will be held Oct. 19 at 1 pm to 2 pm at the CSI Preschool Lab. (246 Falls Ave.) Please join us and invite other education members interested in being part of the SRAEYC, an affiliate of the NAEYC.

For Children at CSI

Children's Fall Festival at CSI.

We will be having an obstacle course for children at the festival.

Date: Wed. Oct 6

Time: 4-6 pm

Place: Outside the Taylor Building on CSI campus

Join us. Bring your children. There will be other clubs there with other booths for children to enjoy.

This went great. Had a good turn out. Children loved the obstacle course.

Big thanks to Crystal, Jodie, and Jamie for helping out.

Conference

Our SRAEYC Conference will be held on Oct 1 and 2. Our Presenter will be Ashley Merryman (Co-Author of the book "NurtureShock"). Here is the link to the registration form to join us at the Conference. You will learn more than you thought you could. You could also read the book or there is an audio book as well before coming to the conference to be familiar with the aspects we will be talking about.

There is more information on the Upcoming page tab located at the top.

September Meeting

Our first meeting of the Fall 2010 school year will be Sept. 21 at 1 pm until 2 pm at the CSI Preschool Lab at 246 Falls Ave. It would be great if you tell all the Education Majors you know to come to the meeting. We would love all the support we can get. I will confirm this meeting once I've confirmed it myself. I will update this post once I know what will be discussed at the meeting. I'm pretty sure we will talk about making our club offical with CSI. That would be great.

Learning Together!

Let's Learn Together!!

Keep this club in mind for the next school semester.

Invite Early Childhood Students to join the SRAEYC Club!
