OUR TIME: Milk & Cookies Week 10

FOUNDATIONS OF LEARNING:

The Value of Play: Play is a natural activity for children. The child at play is self-motivated and actively engaged. Whereas games are governed by rules, the value of play is that it provides freedom from evaluation and judgment. The freedom of a playful atmosphere fosters intellectual development as well as self-construction and the development of personality.

At Home: At home fun can be experienced with kitchen games. There is a pots and pans game on page 26 of the Home Activity Book. Games serve a greater purpose than just fun – they are important to the process of exploration and discovery.
