GOODNIGHT, FRIENDS!

Our “Staying Healthy” unit today included the importance of sleep. We discussed what sleep looks like, what we take to bed with us, and later read Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. We drew pictures of our animal friends sleeping and acted out a bedtime routine during dramatic play time. They even each decided to read their animal friends a bedtime story, and one got swaddled like Hud’s baby sister. 🥰

These 3-year-olds may not actually be reading yet, but they’re developing a love for it as well as book and print awareness (parts of a book, the difference between an author and an illustrator and words vs. pictures, to name a few). Listening to them “read” to their friends was priceless. So much can be learned through play.
