I hope everyone had a wonderful spring break and students are excited to return to school! This week I will be reading the story "Join in and Play" by Cheri Meiners. The story is about a little girl who is learning how to play with others. She learns that she can walk up, smile and say "hello", tell something about herself or ask a question about what the other person is doing; she can ask someone "May I play?" If the person or others say "No" she can ask again later or find someone or something else to do; she can ask for help from a grown-up; she can invite someone to play with her and share ideas about what to play; she learns that it's okay to have more than one friend and that she can use her Magic Triad to express her feelings and concerns. She learns the importance of playing fairly, following the rules, listening, speaking kindly, sharing, and waiting for her turn.
