In the 4’s group we watched 4 children around a table making a sticky mixture of glue and toothpaste. Their autonomy came from their mixing of the the ingredients and discovering how the ingredients blended together. Their Initiative showed when they all ended up with a sticky mess on their hands and had to figure out how to get it off. One of the children was giving suggestions to his classmates on how to do this by scraping the gunk off with a popsicle stick. Soon they were all trying that. As far as industry goes they all ended up with a lot of the popsicle sticks and other tools stuck all over their hands which they seemed pretty happy about.
These interactions let me to think more about our cloud project and how to improve the discovery and interaction amongst any children that are near.
