I love the way you broke this down- especially "can you name another one?". I'm sure the children were very interested in this since it was child initiated and related to someone they cared about. It's things like this that make me miss BFP and reminds me how much other teachers can learn from you.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, when did the room names change and what are the other three rooms called?
Thank You Sheila!
DeleteI enjoyed the conversation with the child involved. He and I went over this for about four days. He kept asking good brainy questions and I kept adding more things for him to think about like what might it look like if we were in Korea or Ireland. Two place where some of our "BFP Friends" had visited for the summer. I asked him he thinks Ireland and Korea have states like America?
The other classrooms are called Maples(3s) Chestnuts(3s) and Willows downstairs (4s) and of course Redwoods(4s)
Hope you are having a great night!
