"First Fridays"
was created
as a tool to connect with
teachers, children, and families
to
provoke thought
initiate conversations
support learning
because
as Early Childhood Educators
our goal is not
to teach children what to think,
but to teach them how to think
to reinforce the idea of using color to describe our moods
First Fridays-
A Story. A Song. An Activity
Virtual Storytime
A Story
Theme: Embracing a Positive Growth Mindset
Moods change from day to day, and you never know what
tomorrow will bring. But one thing's for sure: when you've
got love around you, the blues won't stick around long...
