At this time of the year, the toddler teachers are kind enough to invite me into their classroom every Friday. For the first few weeks we have agreed that I will simply observe the children and record these observations in a variety of ways for us to reflect on.
These reflections will inform our future explorations, but for now I am just getting to know who the children are and what interests them.
I record their encounters with the known world and the soft theories they are continually forming about how the world operates.
It is a graceful encounter, watching these young scientist/artists/big thinkers explore physics, social dynamics and basic phenomena through constant engagement with the environment and one another.
It never ceases to inspire me.
