Play, Growth

UISG K1 & Friendship

– All about K1 –

We started the year off with our first Unit of Inquiry: How We Express Ourselves.
With the central idea – People learn and express themselves through play.

In K1, play helps children:

• Explore Emotions: Understand feelings and build empathy.
• Enhance Communication: Foster teamwork and sharing.
• Develop Creativity: Create stories and solve problems.

Our “I Can” statements promote growth:

• I can change my mind and be flexible.
• I can choose my activities.
• I can wait my turn and be patient.
• I can share with friends.
• I can be caring towards others.
• I can tidy up after playing.
• I can help my friends.
• I can talk about my feelings.

Our Goal

TO ALL PARENTS

Our goal is to nurture an environment where children can play, learn, and grow in friendship.
