Teachers on Teaching: A Splash of Color
Perry, Michael Wolfe
Young Children, v61 n2 p83 Mar 2006
This article focuses on a small experiment initiated by two three-year-old preschool children without the instruction or supervision of a teacher, while playing in the yard. During their playtime, they began to color the blacktop with chalk. They thought of a brilliant idea of pouring water over the chalk drawings and after the water dries up, they discover a unique masterpiece. The author photographed the results of the children's experiment to document what they had created. The photographs continue to encourage curiosity, creativity, and wonder. Hopefully, these children will continue to explore, feel inspired, and discover the wonderful world around them--and so will others like them.
