Las experiencias nuevas pueden dar miedo, especialmente ir a la escuela por primera vez.
¿Alguna vez se ha preguntado qué decirle a su hijo o hija si está inquieto por ir al preescolar? La autora premiada y educadora de la primera infancia, Sylvia Rouss, ha escrito otro libro inspirado por los niños de su propia aula. Toma los versículos del Eclesiastés—los mismos que inspiraron la canción de Pete Seeger “Turn! Turn! Turn! “—y los transforma en una mirada entretenida a todo lo que los niños pueden esperar en el preescolar.
Con fotografias de una clase real de preescolar, En mi preescolar muestra todas las actividades nuevas y emocionantes que su hijo o hija puede vivir. Aprenden que hay un tiempo para hablar y un tiempo para escuchar, para jugar y para estar tranquilos, para caminar y para correr, para ensuciarse y para estar limpios, para hacer ruido y para guardar silencio, y mucho más. Lo más importante: descubren que el preescolar no da miedo en absoluto, sino que es un lugar divertido.
En mi preescolar: Hay un tiempo para todo que deleitará a los pequeños lectores de las series Sammy Spider y The Littlest de Rouss. Las historias de Sylvia Rouss se han traducidas al español, neerlandés, francés y portugués, y se han vendido casi un millón de sus libros a niños de todo el mundo.
New experiences can be scary, especially going to school for the first time.
Ever wonder what to tell your child who may be apprehensive about going to preschool? Award winning author and early childhood educator, Sylvia Rouss, has written another book inspired by the children in her own classroom. She takes the verses of Ecclesiastes—the ones that inspired Pete Seeger's song "Turn, Turn, Turn"—and transforms them into an entertaining look at what kids can look forward to in preschool.
Through photos from an actual preschool class, In My Preschool shows all the new and exciting activities your child can experience. They learn that there's a time to talk and to listen, to play and be quiet, to walk and to run, to be messy and clean, to be noisy and be quiet and much more. Most importantly, they can see that preschool isn’t scary at all, but a place that’s fun.
In My Preschool, There is a Time for Everything will delight the young readers of Rouss’s Sammy Spider series and the Littlest series. Sylvia Rouss’s stories have been translated into Spanish, Dutch, French and Portuguese with almost one million copies of her books sold to children around the world.
