Together with children, watch Dhaviya learn, play, and help in kindergarten and at home. You can pause and talk about what you see, or ask these questions later:
- What are some things Dhaviya is learning in kindergarten?
- Dhaviya’s teacher says, “Close your eyes and think of something you’re going to do well in a few minutes.” Would you like to close our eyes and try this ourselves?
- What does Dhaviya do when it’s his turn to be “mini-teacher”?
- What letter does Dhaviya work on in the video? (V) Can you think of some words that start with V?
- What are some things Dhaviya and his grandfather do together? Who is a special grown-up to you? What do you like to do together?
