One day we had water colours at our art studio in our classroom. Many children created paintings of flowers, their families or their friends. However, one student decided to paint the rocks she'd seen at the beach. (We had rocks and shells at our Discovery Table) The children at the art studio began to talk excitedly about their own beach experiences and also began to draw about the beach and the shore.
We brought the materials (shells and rocks) that had been interesting the children to the carpet for a discussion. The children began by stating what they knew about the shells. Eventually, theories and 'I wonder' statements emerged from the children.
