Vendredi le 27 novembre, nous avons assisté au Colloque virtuel de l’Association d’Éducation Préscolaire du Québec. Les conférences et ateliers portaient sur les défis de l’éducation préscolaire, les jeux symboliques pour développer les habiletés sociales, et aussi sur l’éducation par la nature. De plus, nous avons assisté à des ateliers sur les jeux musicaux et le développement de l’enfant, la création de livres avec l’application Pages sur iPad, et le stress et l’anxiété chez les jeunes enfants. Nous sommes impatientes de mettre en action nos nouvelles idées dans la classe!
