Creating groups

Often the individual children in our classroom are interested in different types of activities and material explorations. As the school year has progressed, the children are now more confident in the types of lessons and materials we use in the classroom.

In thinking about our future diorama, we wanted to see what type of contribution might interest them the most. Different actions were listed and we talked about how each might contribute to the diorama.   I asked the children what type of activity they liked the most, or knew the most about, because when we start creating I will need some experts to help with different things. The children took a minute to think and then I asked them to come make their choices. We still have some children to speak with but they each seemed confident as they made their choices.
