Hello everyone, this week I decided to let my kids go outside and just work with the nature around them. I was interested in seeing what they wou just things from nature of course I got this idea from the things that we discussed in last week's assignments. I provided them with a couple of ba hay and a few old pots and pans. To make a long story short I have never seen children be as happy as they were playing with straw and pots and They found small sticks and some of them started cooking some spaghetti and some hot dogs and asparagus. Some of the others took the straw made big piles for them to run and jump into, they made pathways to drive the trikes through and I even had some use the pots to make drums ou them. We have several other toys on the playground for them a swing set a slide a balance beam but because there was just some simple natural out there they took full advantage of it and forgot all about the other playground equipment. It was amazing to watch them expand their imagination make it so much fun for them. You guys should give it a try at your centers I$\text{'}$m telling you the children may surprise you.
