11. Teacher's Notes
As we know, not every child
in our class will have a father who is with
them or to whom they can give a gift on
Father's Day. I created this slideshow to
provide you with an opportunity to reflect
and discuss it in a way that is relevant and
sensitive to the particular age and needs of
the students in your care. Every child needs
to know they are loved regardless of their
situation in life and every child needs to
learn how to be kind and sensitive to those
in different circumstances from their own.
I would love to hear about how it goes -
please leave a comment if you get the
chance. Nicola
