Pierrette
L ike all of the Camper Campus teachers, Pierrette works at many levels. She can be found beading, drawing, manipulating play dough, singing and storytelling with the children. ?T hey love to get to know the stories and what will happen next, but also we ask them leading questions so they can make up their own stories too.? T he classes are a rich source of opportunity for discovery and expression where students have the opportunity to exercise all of their senses. ?T hey learn through playing and using their senses such as touch. W hen they are manipulating play dough, it?s such a discovery with their hands and a way to express their emotions. T here is no right or wrong with play dough; rolling play dough brings us together around the table!,? Pierrette smiles, as she often does. ?You know I ?m always smiling when I ?m around the children. T hey are watching and 70 percent of their understanding comes from our body language? I ?m also singing a lot. I love to sing and when the children are singing in French, of course they are learning the language.? continued next page 25
