The Three Bears

Porridge was made after reading "The Three Bears". Three bowls; Papa bear, Momma bear, and Baby bear's porridge. 

 As the children arrived at school they saw the bowls of porridge. They were able to choose which bowl to sample some from. A couple of the children loved the porridge and wanted to keep eating it. They decided that they liked Papa bears porridge - it was the "hottest" - they said that it was "just right".

 Lists, sizes, language, re-enactment.

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".
