   I enjoyed learning about tinkering. What stuck with me was when Jeff said that kids need to have a million well spoken words in their first 5 years of life. And what I’ve noticed in these past years of working in a pre-school classroom is that kids more often come to us with very little or no language at all. Like he said they need to have more opportunities for conversations instead of using screens all the time.

   I agree that less teacher talk should promote language and “tinkering.” 90% of my 3 year olds came to class in September with very few words. They are beginning to talk, but our class of 17 is still too quiet for a preschool class. They really listen to simple instructions I sing. This was a training I needed. Thank you Jeff!
