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.

Fascinating Sunflower Sprouts

When planting sunflower seeds, one of the children wanted to do it on his own.  He got a white plastic bottle from the recyclables shelf, added some dirt, a couple of sunflower seeds, water and took it outside to put it in the sun.  Such independence. Such initiative.  It was fascinating to see that different children were interested in different aspects of the process.

Tape Man

Some of the children put  blue tape over their mouth.  Usually I would have said something like, "Take the tape off your mouth. It's not for putting on your mouth."  Instead I thought of Tape Man (with some pride, being from New Zealand).  I thought of creativity.  I thought of art.  So we sat together for whole group time, some with tape on their mouth.  I said, "I've got something to show you."  When they first say him one of them said, "It's scary." I reassured them that it's not too scary and that he's being funny. So they started to laugh.  Pretty soon there was no more tape on mouths (not that I minded if there was, it's just hard to laugh).  Thank you Tape Man for reminding us that creativity begins with exploration in play.
