Hi all - What a beautiful week we've had! It's hard to believe that we can start the day without mittens or winter jackets. This week we started having fun with a new theme: mail! During rest some children have sweetly been writing notes and drawing pictures for each other, and Bridget had the great idea to bring this interest outside! On Monday we read some books about mail and the postal service, and decorated mailboxes. On Tuesday we got busy writing letters! The kids had a great time writing, delivering, and receiving mail.
We also did some learning about another emerging interest this week that is very common in preschool, which is gender identity and body parts. After a couple of conversations, we read the book It Feels Good To Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity. I would highly recommend this book to interested families, and am happy to lend you our school copy. It beautifully and simply talks about different gender identities, including cisgender and transgender. We grownups often learn from children's books, and this one models wonderfully simple language to use when talking with your child about gender.
Enjoy some pictures from the beginning of the week!
