I like what you’re doing here.

When they are speaking and singing, that’s their language that is already been build up in their vocabulary. Their interaction with others, that also builds up their social skills and also emotional skills.

In the activity where the children got to fish using their hands and using their fine motor skills, they are developing physically.
