Dollhouse
Week of Nov 26th
– 30th, 2012
The children were
very interested in the dollhouse scene.
The house consisted of 4 rooms and 2 staircases. There were a lot of things to look at in each
room! At first, many of the children just
wanted to look at the scenes and take it all in. They quickly noticed the girl sleeping in a
bed. Much of their play revolved around
sleeping in the bed. We talked a lot
about their beds at home and what they do at bedtime. They used the dollhouse people to act out
sleeping and waking up. Some of the children
were especially interested in the stairs.
They made their dollhouse people climb up and down the stairs. They talked about where the people were going
and what they would do on the roof.
After we played pretend for a while, they went back to investigating all
the different knick knacks in each room.
We decided to play I Spy and made it a game to find different
objects. Some of the children made
connections between the objects they saw in the dollhouse to similar objects in
our classroom or in their homes.
Next week I would
like to explore a city scene. Will they
incorporate people? Cars? Blocks for buildings?
I am curious how much they will interact with a scene that does not
involve animals or people in it. Usually
the first thing they relate to in the scenes are the animals and people…not the
landscape. How will they react when it
is only landscape?
