We began one of our circle discussions with a question for the children, “What would you like to learn, wonder or hear about?” Here is what they said:

• “Skateboarding, Soccer, Perches” (Connor)
• “Bikes” (Taylor)
• “Going outside to see if I left my toy” (Jun) 
• “The Sun” (Jack)
• “Rollerskating and Swimming” (Daniella)"Skating” (Noel)
• “Ball” (Sofie)
• “Scooter and Tricycle” (Masaki)
• “Shoes” (Ashlan)
• “When you put something under a pillow you can find it” (Tia)
• “Soccer” (Kyle)

From my list I noticed quite a few of the children were interested in wheels, so at our next circle discussion we looked closely at a scooter and a pair of roller skates – as well as the wheels on a long board. The conversation brought up more questions and answers, which the children confidently discussed amongst themselves. One of the questions was “What makes this a scooter?” The conversation followed with “The scooter has a handle and a brake” and “I know how to ride a long board.”

All of the children are pretending to balance on a long board (as Connor demonstrated earlier).

We end the morning with some outdoor time. Daniela and Ashlan are enjoying climbing on the bars  and looking at the fallen leaves.
