- I share how I follow the lead of one specific child over the span of 3 different play sessions and the impact it had on the whole class. I share my thought process and the actions I took.
If you're struggling to know how to follow the lead of the child, this video is right for you.
What a beautiful example of a child led classroom! I loved the reflection from observations of the root of the child’s exploration and adapting that to his needs and interests, while supporting the whole class!
It really is where the magic is. I am doing this channel to help show that child-led doesn't mean the adult is disengaged - rather - fully in the present moment observing and supporting the motivations of the children. Thank you so much for watching!
I love that you have vintage furniture and reusing them into the children’s furniture.
I absolutely love vintage furniture and materials. Only time can give furniture that kind of patina! Thank you for watching.
So so good. The Verb 🙌🏼 Look at that sweet boy explaining his ideas with bright eyes- such a magical moment!!
What a lucky lad, to have someone so thoughtful and caring watching his play, and curating items for his next session. It’s as if you have looked right into his soul, and brought the ideal materials out.
I have made mountains of the pasta bows, and often give it away to like minded friends, in pretty jars. It’s very easy to make, and something great to create while watching training or summits to keep your hands busy!
Oh my gosh! I love it! Jars of felt pasta bows! I am excited for the coming videos as we feature other children and how I support their play motivations. But I think it is important to know that we have limited time and resources and everyone in the room benefits when we support one.
This is so helpful! I wish there was a place like this in our community
Beautiful and heart warming seeing children do what they were designed by their Creator to do....play, not sit all day and write and read ..
So beautiful to watch you follow the lead of the children in your classroom. I do foster care now but used to teach in preschool. I was a huge fan of Bev Boss and am so happy to see you expand on her work and to witness a similar love of children, their development and the gift of play. Truly heartwarming. ❤
Oh my gosh. Bev Bos is such a massive influence in my work. Our children deserve the best educational settings. Child -led is the way! Thank you for stopping by! Wish we could have tea!
"Follow the verb"... this is so true!! ❤
so sweet❤
Thank you for sharing! Your videos are both beautiful and informative! Such a lovely way to bring child development to the public. 🧡
I have a question. What does your after play conversation look like? I’d love to know more about that. Also, when toys cross pollinate in our house, would you suggest keeping them in their specific homes afterwards? There’s just so much organized sometimes as we homeschool and things get scattered fairly quickly.
You don’t meet a lot of people named Wendell! That’s my dad’s name :)
Wow! It is such a great name!
What are you putting in the red bowls for imaginative; it looks like bow pasta
It is handmade felt pasta bows. Super easy to make!
How many children do you have at your centre each day? Is each of their learning plan so carefully designed? Just wondering about the organisation side of it all, keeping track and time for planning and implementing. Is it a plan for each child you are juggling or are their common themes that come through and then one offs like the noodles provocation that crop up every now and then? Please and thank you! 😊
