Page 2 - Highlights High Five (February 2019)

Dear Readers

Taking Pride in Skills

™
Several months ago, the Highlights High Five team tested this month’s craft, “Pretend-
Play Hot Cocoa” (pages 34–35) with a group of young children. All the kids enjoyed

making the craft, but one little boy, age two and a half, absolutely loved it. In fact, he
made six cups of pretend hot cocoas and proudly showed them to his mom.
It is a joy to observe children’s pride as they make a craft or develop a skill. In “Who
Touched the Poster?” (pages 6–9), Tex and Indi demonstrate a different competency. When
they offer to help their sister fix a problem, they show their social-emotional development.

Have fun this month celebrating your child’s growing abilities!

We love to hear from you! Sincerely,y,
