Set up an obstacle course in which children go over, under, through, and so on. Then have the children retell the story. Using pattern blocks, have children make a design and then redo the design in another way by placing new pattern blocks on top of the first design. Put a rubber band on top of the row of nails. Set out a variety of mirrors and pictures from magazines or books for children to explore with.
Most children enjoy demonstrating movements and talking about their actions and positions.
They refine and offer insights into their understanding of shape and space through their actions and their explanations. Note the amount of time children spend on a task, especially when putting puzzles together. Use focus sheets and checklists for recording observations. All Rights Reserved. BC MOE Curriculum Branch .
