Happy Halloween!
Part of our community service in PreK is going to Opportunities, Inc., to sing halloween songs. These types of activities help with their social-emotional development. The foundational skills for being a productive member of social and learning groups are established during the early childhood years, and they are important for early school success. Children who are socially competent interpret social situations and match their behavior accordingly. We have been practicing for about a month and the children did an outstanding job!
After singing, we loaded up and headed over to the Curtis farm for a hayride, games, and lunch. What a great way to establish and sustain positive relationships, and making and keeping friends. Being able to establish caring relationships and to enter successfully into ongoing social interactions are essential skills for school and for success in life. A very special thank you to the Curtis family for sharing their house with us. The children had a great time!!
