Week 9 Class discussion - Partnering with families
For this week's forum, reply to the scenario below.
You are the Early Childhood Teacher in a preschool room in Sydney and have a new family starting.
When the family brings their child Mohammed (4 y.o.) for the first day of kindergarten (preschool), Mohammed's Mum Serena seems concerned to notice that the children spend most of their time outdoors, playing in nature.
The morning after, you receive an email from Serena, asking you to give more details on your program and how you plan to ensure preschoolers know the alphabet and will be ready for school.
Write a brief response to mum demonstrating that you can explain:
- the importance of holistic learning and development
- the benefits of nature play
- how these experiences (children playing outdoors) link to:
a) school readiness intended as the child being socially-emotionally-cognitively ready for school (holistically); and
b) how you use nature play to promote pre-reading and pre-writing skills. Give at least one specific example of this.
