This week I was able to spend a lot of time outside with the children at the SNC Children's Center because of the warm temperatures. But since it was so warm, there were lots of puddles and ice that the children were not aloud to play in. It was really difficult to keep children off the ice and out of the puddles because they were just so intriguing to them and I can understand that. But when you have a group that large we just can't let them get that wet because changing them all into dry clothes would be a very long task. But before the children would get yelled at about the water they were having fun with it. They would run and slide through the water and of course get soaking wet.
It was also Dr. Seuss Week this week so that was a great foundation for some fun classroom and non structured play and much thinking outside the box as Dr. Seuss does. During circle time they were asked many questions where they had to think creatively and use some imagination. During free choice time they were able to play some Dr. Seuss board games. This was interesting to be apart of because they are at an age where they really can't understand the rules of the game very well and teaching them was pretty difficult, so they just kind of did their own thing and had fun with it.
Here are my observational sheet from this week!
