Discovery Centre

 

There are a variety of nature items at the discovery centre. During this time the children have an opportunity to examine a variety of the materials through the use of magnifying glasses. The children are then encouraged to sketch what the material looks like and feels like. Then I scribed what they notice about the material. The goal is for the children to sketch what they examine, rather than drawing.

 

 

 

New Sensory Bin

 

Before Easter break I took a variety of paper, tissue paper, shiny paper, cardboard, corrugated paper, etc and cut the paper into a variety of sizes. Then I hid various number of objects amongst the variety of paper. The children will draw a card and try to find that many items. This particular centre will be ongoing for the next two weeks.
