Shells & The Senses

The shells were on the table for the children to explore.

Most of the children put the shell to their ear to find out if they could 'hear the ocean'.

The sense of smell was explored.

A couple of the children wanted to take a shell home with them. Why not?

The value of 'found objects' is that they can be easily replaced and they're free.

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".
