Good Afternoon!

The theme of the day seemed to be cooperative problem solving! Outside today everyone enjoyed water painting on the sidewalk. A group worked together in an imaginative game, using the brushes to “wash” the fence and the drinking fountain. It was wonderful to hear our young friends using their cooperative problem solving skills and kind words with each other. The group clearly understood the value of fairness for everyone in the group as well as the importance of listening to one another as they played. We are so proud of our Wee Friends!

In the classroom our kids continued to demonstrate creative and cooperative problem solving skills. They wanted to build a long tube system from the loft to the floor to put balls through. It was difficult to get everything to line up. The group worked extremely well as they went through the process of trial and error. They listened to and tried each other’s ideas. Some failed but everyone was very encouraging. This positivity created the atmosphere needed to try again. Eventually a combination of tape and large anchoring blocks worked and the system was a success! The value of these spontaneous learning experiences cannot be measured!
