To glue or not to glue...that is the question!

[Klara Redford @kindyfriends]

The gift about Ss making their own loose parts is the validation & confidence it creates. Ss can manipulate the pieces to imagine, re-imagine and communicate stories that their language development might not yet afford. When we ask Ss to glue it down, some of that is lost.

We asked Ss how they might be inspired by nature to find beautiful "hair" for their cardboard cutouts. Much thanks to @MPPS_Wirral for the wonderful idea! Our Ss LOVED IT! @CliftonPS

This week some of our Kindy friends engaged in an inquiry about the life cycle of a butterfly. Love these #looseparts creations! #distancelearning @CliftonPS

This week “we” (the #FlatTeachers) had so much fun learning and sharing with our Kindy friends-reading, tea parties, puppet shows, video games and more! We wonder what adventures await us? @CliftonPS @PeelSchools

[Darren VanHooydonk @DVanHooydonk]

Filled with pride that we raise both these flags every June!

when we let them lead, imagine and create...wonderful learning happens and at the heart of it is their passion to be part of something meaningful - @inkyelbows some inspired "loose parts art" from our Kindy friends #distancelearning #earlyyears @CliftonPS

Our #FlatTeacher began arriving in the mailboxes of our families and our first adventure was "paint class" with one of our Kindy friends! ❤️ #distancelearning @CliftonPS
