Hello Families!
We are all Under Construction in one way or the other! These next 2 weeks will allow the children to use some of their problem solving skills as they construct buildings and fix things within the classroom. Working together to problem solve and predict the outcome is a higher level skill that these older children are learning. It has been great to see more cooperate play among the students as they enjoy interacting with each other and using their language in social situations.
