They Don't Talk

The New Year has been a new challenge in Nursery. All my oldies went to Sunbeams except for C. He turned 3 this week and he is my big helper! However, the other 7 or 8 kiddies are so young. No one talks really, no one can copy what I say, sing or answer questions. I know they are learning but they have taken over and do there own things. They can't "gather" like the older kiddies and they don't respond as quickly to their names. I am sure I am going to LOVE seeing them grow and progress into these amazing smart 3 year olds who know things and say things and participate. BUT RIGHT NOW, I don't know what I can do or should do. I need more hands than I have and I want the lessons and class to be designed for them and what they need. Back to the very beginning without having C. get bored or feel like he is the only one talking.
I need some ideas on what activities and how I should approach my lessons and activities so they aren't so easily distracted and disinterested!? What things should I do for the "little guys"?? Share your ideas with me!

Start slow! That is for sure. At first just have an orginzed play time. Then start by having one thing change. Sorta change things as they grow. Too many things for little kids is just too much. IT will stress them and you out. So just take "baby steps" I'll be praying for you!
