In a previous post Experience is the Best Way to Know, I talked about extending holidays past the actual day in order for children to have experiences to connect with activities.
I was hoping the day after Halloween would bring with it some talk about being afraid, or seeing some scary costumes while out trick-or-treating. WHY? Because I was hoping to have some "monster fun" this week! WHY? Because the monster books I have are a HIT with the kids, and monsters are just plain FUN!! But, with that said, I am a believer in following the lead of young children....I sure love it when they lead me where I was hoping they would go!!
Let children play. Let them solve problems. Let them learn from mistakes. Let them own discoveries. Let play count!
