Toys I Make, Trips I Take
What fun we had with all our special guests in class today! By role playing with our stuffed animals to give them voices, movements and more, your child got a chance to develop empathy skills.
Preschoolers tend to see the world only from their own point of view. They can have trouble recognizing others’ feelings and ideas and often think only about how events affect themselves. In play and at school, they may only want to follow their own plans, rather than sharing ideas and taking turns in leading games.
Seeing the world through the eyes of an animal friend gave your child a chance to think about someone else’s feelings in an imaginative and unthreatening way, increasing his/her lifelong social skills.
Don’t forget to make animals masks this week. If you forget to bring them to class, I’ll have some extras.
I also mentioned that I would be sending out some materials to make treble clef posters. I decided to talk about treble clef one more week in class.
See you Monday!
