Block Play and Scribblers

Learning that block play with children is more educated than what everyone thinks was suprising. Knowing block play builds other skills for children and it's statistical that kids who play with blocks seemed to become more advanced in certain areas was amazing. Learning different building ways of stacking and making rows with blocks really made Wednesday want to come sooner. I wanted to see the kids play with blocks and see the creation they made and realize the developmental level they were at for thier age. I was working on another activity with cutting and pasting so they could be creative and cut and make anything they wanted on paper with the shapes. It was interesting to watch some of the kids build what they wanted with the blocks. I noticed one making a wall away from everyone, then some were working together to create something, others we building up to make a building. It was very interesting because every model was described in our teachings about block play. I'm excited to bring that information from the class and putting it into the research and finding out where some of those kids are developed.
