Preschool 1 Week 21- Sharing

This week was a short week with Martin Luther King Jr Day so we did kind of a mini lesson week. Millie has been taking all of the toys to her room so Charlee has nothing to play with. She is going through a phase where she just has to have what Charlee has. So instead of lecturing we are trying to make it fun too.

We read “Should I Share My Ice Cream?” which is such a cute and silly book that I myself, relate to on a spiritual level. We also read Pete the Cat and the Missing Cupcakes (I think that’s what it’s called).

We just asked her how she feels when someone shares with her, how she feels when she shares, how she feels when she doesn’t share, etc. and how sharing makes everyone happy. I told her I have a really hard time sharing too and that we don’t have to share everything but that most of the toys are to share.

We also played some beanbag passing games and talked about how sharing made the game fun.

Toward the end of the week she seemed to be doing better. It was fun just to relax and read and snuggle.
