Happy Wednesday!

Last week one little girl had been so interested in scissors that all she wanted to do was cut paper into little pieces.  This led to cutting up the envelopes that were provided to hold the little pieces of paper…  So this week we created a sensory bin where cutting things into tiny pieces was the entire objective!  There were several friends that learned to use scissors during this activity who had never tried them before. Paige was a little nervous but as she got the hang of using the scissors she exclaimed “Yeah! I like this!” 

We continued to follow the scissor interest into the art center, cutting up colored straws for open ended creation.  Some friends decided they would cut up straws for “other friends” to use…so they could keep cutting.  Others enjoyed making things with the straws.  Adrian said he was making “hammers and hats” with his straws.  William made a “person”.  He chose to lay out his design ahead of time so his pieces were pre-cut to the correct size.  In doing so, he demonstrated some excellent forethought and planning skills!  All this was the result of one child’s interest!  That’s why we love child led learning at Wee Friends!

Several friends created an obstacle course using squares to jump on.  It attracted a lot of attention and participation from the rest of the classroom!
