My April provocation to you is this:
You already have the "techniques" of teaching.
This month, focus on deepening your knowledge to find new ways
of helping children learn on their own.
How do you frame your own questions about your children's work?
How do you look at what your children are doing and then do something else with their work?
Revisit.

I really look forward to hearing what you've learned about your work.
Happy Spring!

By watching the children play, we can see what they are interested in and add an extra learning twist. For example, the kids were playing with the cardboard blocks, Chaddie went over with them and asked who could build the tallest tower using only 10 blocks. This activity still involved their favorite toys, but mathematical and creative thinking/problem solving skills were needed to solve Chaddie's challenge. Another example is doing a web for our learning projects. We ask the children what questions they want answered about the subject, then it is up to us to find the answers and find a fun way to teach it to the kids. Sometimes the kids don't know what they want to learn about, but by introducing different activities we can see what excites them and teach off that.
