! y a l p e w n e wh “It is a happy talent to know how to play” -R.W. Emersont
Our unit this term is all about “play” and mind you, this is not easy especially for 3-year-old children during a time of the pandemic. But because play is serious work for a child, our K1 children were able to play cooperatively most of the time. They have learned a lot of essential skills when we are playing together, in a small group, or just by themselves. We played a lot of games in the class. Some plays required the children to follow specific rules which taught them to share, take-turn, and regulate their behavior. That is why we played and played and played! Our K1 friends were also given a lot of opportunities for free and unstructured play which has given them the chance to enhance their creativity, imagination, fine and gross motor skills, communication, and social skills. May we never stop playing!
