What's on the other side of the wall? - 4 Year Old Class
February 6, 2018, 06:30 AMDuring our potluck I had noticed that some
of the children that were in our class last year like Koen and Fraser were playing
the “chasing game” in the gym along with some of the friends that are in our
class this year Matias and Stephan. It was evident that they were very happy to
see each other.
We decided we were going to reunite these
friends in the new year by opening up the wall and combining the 4 hour class
with our class. I told the children a week before the day the classes were
coming together and some friends went home so excited like Matias. Others had a
lot of questions as to how we were all going to fit in the space, will it be too
loud and what would we all be doing?
Karen opens the wall and the
children walk into our classroom.
Lucas and Ariyen seemed to be
enjoying playing with the toys in the 4 hour classroom,
Matias, Koen and Fraser are
happy to be connected and begin to play with the magnetic animals, joking with
one another.
Charlie, Magnus and Roan are looking at ways to
set up the ramps for the balls to roll down
Magnus has an idea, he attempts to
stack up the cones so the ramp will balance.
This was the creativity of the 3
boys playing together.
Some of the children from the
4 hour class noticed children having snack and decide
to join them having snack
together.
We gathered
the children on the carpet and decided to play a co-operative game where the
children take a shoe off and we place them around the classroom. The children
have to go find their shoe as well as help find friends shoes. When all
the shoes were found, the children returned to the carpet.
It was time for the 4 hour
class to go back to their room and we were heading outside.
We said goodbye and
look forward to the next time we combine classes.
Until next time
