Friendships are in bloom in the Dragon Room and in the Dragon Yard this week. We have noticed how your children are helping each other from finding a missing sock to giving up a toy that their friend really wanted to play with. Also the use of language between friends has become more frequent. There is not as much grabbing or taking toys away from each other without saying “Can I be next with that toy?” We also haven’t had to give as many reminders to your children about using their words before their hands. Words are also being used to enter into play. We have also observed the Dragon Room friends showing empathy toward each other. Learning how to be a good friend is a tool that will last your children forever.
In the classroom building was popular this week. Your children had many building materials to choose from: They had Lego’s, colored wooden blocks, large and small plastic spools, bristle blocks and tinker toys. Signs also came into play as your children were building. The Danger Hard Hat Area sign is popular when building a really high tower, as well as the orange construction sign. Small stop signs were also used; as some of the children taped them onto their buildings.
