When we set up each morning we often look at the weather - it was rather cold and damp outside - and we think about what activities that would create interest and inspire the children when they enter the building. Today the bright coloured marble run attracted James and Jack to build their creations that made us really curious.
Gina, our student who is with us for 5 weeks, shared that she found James had an amazing ability to persevere; when it didn't fit or fell down he would try another way.
Jack, who is younger, worked beside James and we reflected the wonderful dispositional learning taking place between the two tama of working interdependently in a steady, calm manner with the goal to explore the marbles coming down in a range of ways.
We are problem solvers, ngā tamariki kaipororaru whakatika. We explore and find out things by doing and having a go!
Construction Play! This sounds like a good idea for preschool students. Thanks for the post. I would like to use this idea in my Phoenix pre-k class. I am sure my students would love it as they like these kind of activates.
