When the children came together to plan what learning they would share with parents this month, someone suggested one of the counting games we play regularly. This gave someone else an idea about a game with a 100 square. This made someone else think of a card game we often play. That reminded someone else of a dice game! Before long, we had a long list of number engagements to share at our monthly parent sharing session.
It is delightful to see the children so deeply engaged in explaining the games to their parents, offering help and sharing strategies when needed. This role reversal, with children as teachers and adults as learners is a powerful experience for both children and parents.
