You are a preschool teacher. Mrs. Camino, the mother of four-your old, Joey, has come to you with a complaint. It seems that when she asks her son, What did you do at school today? He says, I played. Mrs. Camino is furious. She is paying good money and wants Joey to be learning not playing.
Your job is to convince Mrs. Camino of the importance of play in a childs life and the risks involved in pushing academics before a child is ready. Do this by drafting a minimum of 1 full-page letter (double-spaced) to Mrs. Camino. Be sure to point out of the various skills in ALL three domains (physical, cognitive, and social) that children develop through play. Get your points across in a professional manner. As a teacher your writing should be warm, caring, and informative. Moreover, as a teacher, you are expected to demonstrate proper grammar and letter writing skills to all parents. Use the video below to help support your letter.
