City
Week of Nov 26th
– 30th, 2012
At the end of this
week, I decided to pull out our city landscape scene. In this scene there are no people or
animals. The children were very
interested in the tall buildings. They
want to reach as high as the buildings and they talked about how big they
were. Many of the children wanted to
build with the blocks and tried to make buildings that were very tall like the
ones on the wall. We explored different types
of buildings and ways we can build so that our structures were stable. The children added people and cars to the
play after a little bit of exploration.
They were very interested in making streets for the cars and sidewalks
for the people to walk on. I found this
very interesting since we could not see any streets or sidewalks, but the children
knew they were a part of the city. There
was a lot of problem solving while they determined how long and wide to make
the different streets for different cars.
Next week we will be
revisiting our learning group at group time and sharing with the rest of the
class the things we learned. This is
always a great opportunity for the children to reflect on their experiences and
learning.
