“Who learns by finding out, has seven fold the skill of him who learned by being told.” (Arthur Gutterman) I enjoyed watching the children play with the hoops today! So many play ideas emerged as each child explored and as you and the other parents interacted with the children.
In previous weeks, we experienced exploration of instruments in which your interaction with your child was of utmost importance. Interaction in today’s exploration of a prop was equally important. Children learn through their own exploration, but a parent’s guidance to help stretch and vary a child’s ideas provides challenges to lead to new levels of learning. This process is called scaffolding. Enjoy this experience with your child every day!
