One morning we had the wooden arch flipped upside down to represent a “boat” for the children to sit inside of. We added some mats to invite the children to sit inside of it. As soon as the children saw the way it was set up, they came to explore.
VN was the first to sit down inside and noticed right away how easily it rocked when any pressure was placed on it. She repositions her body carefully so she doesn’t tip back. LM crawls on and stays on his hands and knees as another child rocks it back and forth. Hailee begins to sing “row row row your boat” while she rocked the children. QT hears Hailee and starts singing along with her; “row row row boat” she sang.
We noticed the children have been gathering in
bigger groups in different areas of the room. We have been wondering if this is
because they are shifting to a more social aspect of playing or if they are just
wanting to all play within the same area? We will have to observe more to test
this theory.
