Kids in action

It's always busy in our kindergarten, as anyone who has visited can tell you. There are always many centres open to allow for free choice, and the children are encouraged to come up with their own projects to pursue. As a result, we often have 10 or 11 little hubs of activity at any given time.

The teachers spread out at playtime in an attempt to capture all the learning. Armed with clipboards and cameras, we observe, ask questions, and challenge the students to keep experimenting. Sometimes we get pulled away to deal with the inevitable social conflicts, but we try to focus our time on the learning at centres. Teachable moments happen fast and we want to catch them all!

Here are a few videos and pictures of the action this week.

Excitement about the Bey Blade project continues. Check out this counting action, with more boys building in the background:

The gravity experiments are growing:

The boys started creating posters about how to make a good Bey Blade out of cubes.

And dinosaurs danced in some paint to celebrate the /d/ sound we've been working on this week.

Some artists started making creations out of wire and other found materials.

We're hoping to bring you more action soon. With parent interviews beginning next week, we may have to put off posting for a little while. We will do our best to keep you updated!
