When reflecting on the post we shared around clay earlier this week, we (the teachers) were able to newly appreciate the depth and complexity of the work being done in the Studio. As they worked with this new material, the Brown Room children made so many connections and had so many unique inspirations and explanations for their creations. We had to make another post about clay! Today, scissors were available to use with clay. This served a dual function: to support our friends as they continue to gain mastery over scissor use, and as a way to introduce the use of clay tools. Many children also expressed a desire to "make my symbol", which led to the introduction of symbols encased in frames, placed on the table for inspiration.
Gus makes a "skeleton", while William uses scissors to cut tiny pieces off a flattened piece of clay and Betsy pokes holes in her clay, emulating Elizabeth. P.S. Brown Room will be leading Sing-A-Long tomorrow! Check out the children practicing with Sam below. Please note that you're welcome to join us even if it's not a school day for your child.
