A Week of Wonder

We've known each other for just one week.

In just one week the children have shown curiosity and confidence.

 They've asked questions:
Why can we hear the ocean in the cup?
Who is Eric Carle?

We'll explore the first question during centers time during the week.

 We found a picture of Eric Carle at the end of "Brown Bear" on youtube. 

 When I read "Dirty Bertie" one child asked: Is that by Eric Carle?

We've only had one week together and already they have been wondering about what they've seen in their classroom.

Journals & Writing

We like to write about what interests us.  It's the same for children.  Journal writing time is an invitation for the children to draw something of interest to them.  They tell me something about their pictures and I write it on the page.  They see how writing happens by starting with an idea then seeing it get written down.

Paper Tray / Spatial Exploration

The paper trays were moved from the top of the shelf to the table so that some of the children could make a trap using the yarn. One of the children experimented with the paper trays. He pushed them back to discover that they can be formed into steps or they can be stacked on top of one another. Spatial exploration.

Yarn Trap

The yarn was used to make a trap.  It was tied to a picture frame and a basket. Each was positioned on shelves across from one another.  The children had to go "under" the trap to get to the carpet for whole class time. There was a lot of sharing of ideas, problem solving, and use of the positional language "over" and "under" and "around".
