Week 3. Author: Angeli Ludovico The teacher asks her Kindergarten class to draw something that they can do by themselves. One girl is very happy with the activity because she loves to draw. During snack time, the teacher approaches the girl and asks her why she is eating by herself and is not playing with the other children. The girl says she is shy and thinks that the other children may not like her. After snacks, the teacher asks her the class to work in pairs and draw what they can do together. One outgoing girl approaches the shy girl and asks her to be her partner. They start to draw the things that they can do together. After drawing, the teacher asks the partners to build a tower of blocks together. The two girls disagree on the kind of block tower that they want to make. The teacher talks to them and asks how they can work together. The two girls agree on a design that will make both of them happy. From then on, the two girls become inseparable best friends. They also learn how to work well with their other classmates even when they do not agree at first. 2017 by U.S.Agency for International Development (USAID) Produced for the Department of Education under the USAID Basa Pilipinas Activity Basa Pilipinas is USAID/Philippines’ flagship basic education activity in support of the Philippine Government’s early grade reading program.
