COVID-19 Awareness for Kids

Dear Parents/Gardiuans,

Due to the current global situation, most of what we talk about it what is happening. Although it is quite a difficult situation for children to understand we should not leave them in the darkness about the situation, but we should enlighten them through child-friendly ways, such as this Document below. Fell free to print it or show it digitally to your children and help them understand the current situation, through such a child-friendly format.

I f you would like, when the child fills in the pages, send me the photos or scans and I will make a college with all the children’s works.

Active Inspire Photography Games

This week, during a morning circle time we did different activities to see what we know about photography and different cameras. moreover, these activities will be assigned as a free play station during other activities for children who are waiting for their turn to do the main activity.

Since the children seemed so excited and engaged during this session, I encourage you to download the flip chart and do the games with your child at home πŸ™‚

Active Inspire

Since we do a number of games and activities in the classroom on the Active Inspire Software, it would be fun for the children to continue this learning experience at home. Therefore, I encourage you as parents/guardians to download and install this program on your home desktop computer. I will be posting the games and exercises we do in the ‘Educational Websites and Games’ Category every now and again.

I encourage you to do these activities with your children at home, as it enhances the learning of this experience, which has major benefits on the children’s holistic development.

P.S. When asked about which version of the software you want to install, choose the ‘Personal’ option.
