​Preparing for our family breakfast on Friday:
What documentation do you see around the room?

​"Maps." -Reed
"Because we need to see it. There are so many houses... outside...and cars...on the road." -George
"My house is on there (a map)." -Maxon
"And my house is on there." -Audrey
"We have houses on our maps." -George
"We have three maps. One right there (points), one right there (points at a second map), one right there (points at a third). And oh! A white one." -Reed

Supporting and Developing the Language of Drawing

Inspiring each other with our ideas:     

​"I'm drawing a whale." -Audrey
                                         "I'm going to draw a whale." -Reed

"Do you want some cookies?" -Maxon

Maxon decided to play pretend that there was a party. In his dramatic play scenario he prepared waffles and blueberry cookies. Eventually Marley joined him. Together they were exhibiting thoughtfulness and hospitality to their friends who were drawing as they offered and served them cookies.
