Happy New Year!

This month we will have four themes that the children will use their imaginations and create their own play around castles and dragons, pirates, camping, and The Three Little Pigs.  Play in a child’s world is their work, according to Piaget.  Offering an opportunity for children to play and create their own characters also increases their ability to read later on.   Using imagination in play helps a child develop the ability to see characters and plots once they begin to read.  It is amazing what play can do for all of our children.

Here is a fun story about a dragon to get us all ready for the week.  Enjoy.
