Through this I can see that all children in your class are valued and seen as competent by you. What a gift. Each story is filled with such great language and story. Each invention is a glimpse into the world of each of these 3 year olds. They have so much to share.Kudos!Marla McLean, Atelieristahttp://atelier.schoolwithinschool.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403335925917427902.post-28799227919551718952013-01-01T23:58:37.295-05:002013-01-01T23:58:37.295-05:00I love all your stories, Maureen, much because I h...I love all your stories, Maureen, much because I have a 3 1/2 year old granddaughter who talks about monsters a lot, & is very interested in bad guys, mac 'n cheese & vehicles. She would love to make a machine so since I've done this with middle schoolers, perhaps I'll try your machines? I love that they know about buttons & try to keep things from happening (solving problems) through their ingenuity. What a beginning you are creating for them! I also love that you mentioned sharing each day. Learning from others means learning by listening to their thinking too. I had kids sharing all the time-believe it is an opportunity teachers miss too often. Thanks so much for sharing! And happy new year to you & your family!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
