Fun with Tape
Intention: Teachers offered tape
so
that
the
children
could
post
their
art
independently.
Reflections and Quotes:
The
children
started
putting
tape
on
the
walls and
the
fence.
Teacher
Everett
asked them
what
their
plan was.
The
children
spent
time
working as
a
team
on
this
for
30
minutes
until
they
ran
out
of
tape.
They
had
discussions about
who put
up
each
color.
Since
they
had
to clean
up
the
tape
anyway,
they
made
shapes
out
of
the
tape.
