Early Childhood Education and Common Sense: Bubble wrap printmaking - with rolling pins!
http://common-senseinearlychildhoodeducation.blogspot.com/2012/01/bubble-wrap-printmaking-with-rolling.html
Early Childhood Education and Common Sense. Saturday, January 28, 2012. Bubble wrap printmaking - with rolling pins! I've been enjoying introducing various art activities to my new group of children this week - we've done collage, and easel painting, and as well enjoyed painting on bubble wrap, and printmaking. My children loved using the rolling pins, and I know I will use this again. My children were delighted with their finished print! The next day, I had a visit with some of the older "veterans" of m...

Early Childhood Education and Common Sense. Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Abit of what I've been up to, and a good video. One of the wonderful consequences I've found through blogging this past year, is the knowledge I've gained from reading other blogs.I've learned about places, people, and ideas I may never had the opportunity to encounter - and I am grateful for all the great things there are to learn in our world. Herbert, who likes to co-author with me. Arthur who would rather play. I have noticed th...

Early Childhood Education and Common Sense: March 2011
http://common-senseinearlychildhoodeducation.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Early Childhood Education and Common Sense. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. I am becoming a committed fan of Teacher Tom's blog, and his thoughtful and helpful posts. Today on Tom's post he commented on an article which discusses play and it's importance. I haven't really read about Vygotsky in depth - but now plan to read more. (I have probably benefitted from his writings secondhand, in that I suspect many of the things I've learned about children's play were developed from his theories). The author of this a...

One Family. Loving, Learning and Traveling.Together. Sunday, March 17, 2013. Preschool Puddles:Easy to make Water cycle model. Mini Piwi had fun learning about the water cycle in a fun and colorful way. A Toddler or Preschooler may not know about Precipitation and Evaporation just yet but, they do know all about puddles! I explained that we were pretending that the pile of colored mini pompoms represent a puddle on the ground. The cotton balls are a cloud in the sky. We’re joining in with these blo...
