Fireworks - FAS T/Th class

We had the sorting box and the foam stacking activity out last class. These were two separate experiences that the children played with. While I was busy helping the children at the snack table, I suddenly heard 3 continuous loud sounds, then I saw the foam rings flying up in the air.  When I looked up, I saw Aiden and Era picking up the foam rings and stacking them on the wooden dowels. I continued to watch them in their play. Era opened and closed the sorting box that created a popping sound. After the popping sound was made, Aiden lifted the foam rings off the wooden dowels. This happened two more times and I decided to ask them what they were doing. Aiden was quick to reply with “We are making fireworks”.



The children were able to apply their understanding of what fireworks are in their play. A loud sound and different colors in the air were present.  This play required Aiden and Era to play cooperatively and communicate with each other to successfully make fireworks.

Until next time,

Patricia
