Working with Ollie was my favorite activity but making the earphone holder was the opposite. It's a good thing to get frustured sometimes because it is a good motivator to do better. Students can learn from mistakes.

Making this was harder than it seems. #edps3140

Ozobots were so much fun. It was interesting to see the different lines they would follow & the different colors they would make. #edps3140

This was a super fun activity to make a catapult #edps3140

Working with Ollie, this was my first reaction #edps3140

Thank you for a fun live chat. I loved the energy and definitely would love to do this again.

I will have to look more into it myself. I know the kids I work with, will have so much fun with it.

In the outdoor play, I have noticed the children tend to play "house". Someone will be the "mom" while the others are her "kids" and they will pretend to go to school or they will go shopping. It is fun to see them take on these roles.

I really like the idea of having one. I might bring it up to the school I work with to see about maybe getting one for our kids. I also want one when I start teaching myself.

That is really cool. I used to just bring my toys outside with me when I would get home to make mud pies with my cousins after school.

[Cassandra Lopez @lopezxcassandra]

@hechternacht @tiegradloeppky #Kinderchat
That would have been great to have as a kid. We tend to only have kitchens inside of the classroom in the dramatic play area.

This is a good rule for the reason that they are still able to play tag but they have boundaries to stick to.

[Jessica Wolma @Ms_Wolma]

A4: Our school has a two finger touch policy for tag, which is the most common "rough and tumble" play we see outside. I like this rule because it allows the students to engage in the play they want, while at the same time keeping them safe. #kinderchat

I feel like it is something that children will always do but there definitely should be boundaries about how rough the children should play. Rough play should always be monitored for the reason of someone getting really hurt.

That would be really fun for the kids. I know the kids I work with love to get their hands dirty and are always willing to play with mud.

I have also noticed that they will play with the dirt and make mud pies and pretend to eat it.

@KC_SEASportsFan @tiegradloeppky Really? I used to pick them up all the time whenever it would rain. I always pretended they were my pets.

As a teacher I would encourage going out and finding worms when it rains to be able to learn their parts later on in the classroom. I did that when I was in kindergarten and I had so much fun with that activity.

@St006C @tiegradloeppky That is a really great way to let them know they are in a safe environment.
