Construction

This pass Monday I observe the children being engage in the block area, during outside play. The teacher brought out a stand where the children are able to pretend to cut wood, hammer nails or screw screws in.  She also brought out, from the classroom, a container with different fixing tools and aprons. One boy pretended to build a T.V and then he watch a movie. He watch the movie of captain America, he said. Once he finished building his T.V he sat down and seemed excited as he watched  the movie. He constantly told his classmates what was happening in the Movie. Another girl pretended to build with a friend, but as she build she read a book. She told her friend that they needed the book to read the instructions. As they build the girl continued to read and turn the pages of the book. She also hammer nails on the stand. Another group of three girls put on their aprons. One of the girls said they need there tools before they build. So she took the initiative and put tools on her apron and then help put tools on the other two girls aprons. Two other boys play off and on in the block area and with the tricycles. The boys went around the trike area and then stop at the block area pretending to fix their trikes. This activities when on during outside play, the entire time. The children seemed to really like it and be engage in it. even though they were all in the block area, they all play different roles and maintain their role. The children develop memory, cognitive, motor skills, language and are creative while they play the different roles in the block area. i really enjoy observing how they all pretended to do different things but still play with the same materials.
