Tigo Class: Playdo, fish, acting

Kai kept washing his hands to the point of me having to drag him away. He was excited about a sink at his level.

Kai started his 4-class series of Tigo. The instructor started off with reading a book to the children, had the parents watch a video about Tigo, then Kai acted out his storybook part...K is for karate, which Kai did his karate kicks in front of class (of course, I had practiced with him beforehand). Then he worked with playdoh, built blocks, and decorated and cut out this fish.

I was surprised that they had given every child a bag of goodies. We went home with a canvas bag with a can of playdoh, scissors, a storybook, a lion puppet, and a Tigo DVD - for free.

Tigo instructs the parent how to be their child's primary teacher, and how to interact in play. So if your child wants you to read that same book over and over again- do it. Tigo believes that's how they take an interest in reading. Also act out the characters part by doing things with them at their level- that's how they learn fast by adult example.
