Abstract

This chapter will discuss how teachers use and further develop strategies to help children expand their cognitive abilities, improve oral language, and express their emotions. The work presented was done with young English language learners children ages 2 to 3, within a family childcare home (FCCH) setting in Miami Dade County. During the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers from family childcare homes noticed children with stress created by the many difficult situations their families were going through. The author developed a pedagogical unit based on the storybook called Wimberly Worries written by Kevin Henkes. This pedagogical unit used the teaching for understanding framework and visible thinking routines. It is the author's goal to present this work to inspire teachers in the creation of similar pedagogical units.
