The summer is quickly wrapping up, but we are remaining fully immersed in our few final summer themes. This week is Camp Academy. We've seen a lot of dramatic play and imaginative learning. This requires children to access their cognitive thinking skills and encourages them to make connections to reality. They think they are just having fun and playing (that's the goal!), but they have no idea how hard their brains are working and how much development is taking place while they play with friends. We feel fortunate to have teachers that put the extra thought and attention into purposeful lessons and activities to prompt children in making these strives towards learning.
