Learning Cause and Effect

These two boys have older sibling and are some of the first to play together. Is there a better way to learn about the physical world?

Physical Manipulation

The camera helps me with my observations. I sat and watched this two year old "work" with different shaped blocks. You could almost see the wheels spinning in his head.

Speaking of Playing

First we had Solitary Play, and then we had Parallel Play.



Last few weeks something really crazy happen, some of the kids found each other. There are two boys in my class that have older brothers that are friends and they started the ball rolling, fighting bad guys. Then some of the girls started trying on the costumes and talking to each other. It's so much fun to watch! I think the picture really shows that these kids have a connection.

AU REVIOR

I've been thinking alot about how I was going to wrap this thing up for our class. My Blog (notebook) has been very important to me. It has really helped me think about what interests me and what's important to me about teaching young children. I was driving down Wilshire Blvd. and there it was....my ending.

The Blog Gods Are With Me!

I was sitting at the car wash today desperate for something to read. I noticed a silly looking newspaper called The Beverly Grove Express. Much to my surprise, I found this wonderful little article by T. Berry Brazelton. The Blog Gods must be with me!!! You may want to print this one to read it.

To Each His Own

Every child has their own style. Some kids like to get their hands dirty.... some don't.

Children Hard at Work

Here is further proof that the words play and work are interchangeable.
