What an amazing time the children had in the garden last week. They worked cooperatively to make a deep hole and then filled it with water. The ensuing mud play was magical to watch. The children discussed the way the mud was “sucking” their boots off.
They then had to work cooperatively to figure out a way to get their peers boots and sometimes feet pried loose from the mud. They worked together to decide who was digging, who was gathering water from the pump and who was stirring.
I am also so proud of our amazing parents who simply hosed off their children and engaged in discussions about what they witnessed.
This was emergent curriculum at it’s best!
