Orientación para padres
Parents are invited to assist with gathering materials, overseeing projects, and ensuring safety during hands-on activities. Their support is especially valuable during construction and experimentation, where they can help troubleshoot and provide guidance. Parents can also engage in discussions about the class content, encouraging curiosity and deeper understanding. This involvement not only aids in reinforcing the concepts learned but also provides an opportunity for quality family learning time.
