The Positive Power of Friends at Play - FAS Tues/Thurs Class
February 28, 2017, 08:00 AMAs a Childhood Educator it is always
rewarding to see the boys and girls individually learn through their
exploration of experiences provided here at preschool.
However, I am equally amazed to watch
the children creatively interact as their play become more imaginative and
socially involved.
I have seen most of their classroom time
move from parallel play to cooperative collaboration, showing great growth in
valuable social skills such as sharing, turn taking and verbal negotiation, to
name a few.
It is also incredible to see young
children demonstrate compassion for each other in tangible ways such as
retrieving a tissue for another friend, helping another child put on their
jacket or helping to open or close a container at the group snack table.
These days of early learning alongside
other children creates a firm foundation for enduring friendships and the first
of many more opportunities for increased social experiences.
Until next time,
Lori
