Extension Activities:

- Children love to play pretend.  Have them pretend play they are in school.  Let them be the teacher and have them "teach" you something.

- Facing new experiences can be scary for children.  That is part of the reason we have the Life Experiences genre of picture books.  Help your child face their fears of new things by reading a related book and talking about how it will affect them.
