POD A: Washing Dishes

Bryanna: " I can wash dishes like my mommy"
     Today we started the day out in large group learning what strangers are and how not to talk to strangers. Since last week when we noticed the children's interest in cleaning we added soap to the water at the discovery table and gave them wash rags and dishes to wash and a drying rack.Once large group broke the children continued their exploration and intrest in learning to wash dishes. Many of the them spent almost the whole free time washing and drying dishes and once all the dishes had all been washed they would put them all back in the water and start over again.

Summer: "once they are all clean and dry we can eat off them"
        Along with the addition of dish washing this week, we added materials for the children to dress up and pretend to be doctors and treat patients where they have been fascinated with giving the teachers and other classmates shots, checking their heart beat, giving them medicine, and putting band-aids on them. Another new addition to the classroom in the library is a puppet stage and puppets where the children can put on hand puppets and act out whatever they want a sing songs.
