Caper Tuesday

Today, we put tubes, funnels, and scoopers in the in the sensory table....  The children first scooped and poured as always. Then slowly they started to add the tubing to the funnels.  There was different sized tubing and funnels, so that they had to match the right size tube to the correct size funnel. The older children from the 3-5 year old classrooms discovered the matching sets. Thankfully there was a little acorn at the table when the discovery was made, and was able to assist the older children.  The schema of scooping and pouring still exists, it has just added the schema of connecting to the mix.

He then used that new knowledge in a new way in a different area of the classroom.

The beauty of our job..... observing a child interacting with other children and then watching that same child take that new knowledge and transfer it in a new way.

We would like to take a moment and let each and everyone of you know that we are thankful that you allow us to spend so many precious moments with your children. We hope you have a wonderful long weekend with your family.
