Supporting children’s transition

Activity: Supporting Children’s Transition

English

• The 4-year-old student learned vocabulary related to transitions, such as "new school," "new friends," and "learning new things."
• Through storytelling and role-playing, the student grasped the concept of change and adaptation, incorporating new words and phrases into their vocabulary.
• The student practiced speaking and listening skills while discussing their feelings and thoughts about transitioning to a new environment.

For continued development, encourage the child to create their own stories or drawings about their transition experiences. This can help them express their emotions and thoughts while further enhancing their vocabulary and language skills.
