Shapes,
colours and size; what do you see? Over the last month we have continued to
observe the children engaging with their environment in behaviours that focus
on ways to organize, sort and order. How do they see our
manipulative materials? What inspires them to create in this way both indoors
and outdoors? Taking the materials they are offered and separating them in
categories, dividing them in an organized fashion or even positioning them in
an aesthetic ways. We have brought out new manipulatives to support this
cognitive interest further, maybe even offering new perspectives to add to
their thinking! Transparent Gems, coloured poker chips, ice cube and muffin
trays, transparent cups and different rocks. What cognitive skills are we
engaging? Are there other ways we can foster this learning?
