https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w What is one type of play you have seen in your placement? What were similarities or differences to our presentation representation of that type of play? en-us 2021-04-16 20:45:28 UTC 2021-05-02 21:58:58 UTC hello@padlet.com lindsaymiller0 https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1435471202 One type of play that I see everyday in my placement is dramatic play. My teacher has a playhouse that inside has a kitchen, kitchen supplies, a table, a baby rocker, and babydolls. Right now it is setup as an ice cream shop so there are ice cream/cones, toppings, ice cream scooper, cash register, and money. I think the play I've seen is very similar to your presentation, especially the part about the children conducting their own rules while playing. I see this everyday in the ice cream shop where the students decide how much money to pay for the ice cream. It ranges from $1-$1,000 for a singular cone.

Students always choose to go in dramatic play first and seem to spend the most time in this area. Right now we have a camping theme set up in our dramatic play, with a tent, camp chairs, grill, and food. The play is similar to what the presentation represented. I am always amazed at the different scenarios they come up with. Sometimes it goes with the theme we have set, sometimes it doesn't. I love seeing them move through these stories and work through their conflicts independently. The only thing I wish is that our dramatic play area at my field placement was larger to accommodate more students comfortably. ]]> 2021-04-19 23:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1435566957 https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1436023395 One type of play that I see in my placement a lot is play with movement. The students always want to dance, play hide and go seek, play on the playground and recreate stories with movement. Similarities are that the students are building strength in their body, endurance, balance and coordination. They have to be able to stay on their feet and not fall over when they dance. Some differences I saw were understanding risk. The students do not often put themselves at risk and usually do not talk or seem to understand that there is a chance of getting hurt.

Currently, my teacher has a kitchen setup for the dramatic play area. Most students have been using it as a restaurant and want to serve pretend customers. Each student selects their roles as server, cook, manager and they go about running the restaurant. I have also seen students use object substitution where they have used a pile of plastic peas as "chocolate chips". Students have changed the time of day where they may serve breakfast foods, then switch over to lunchtime hours, and then dinner all in a span of a couple minutes.

It was very involved and I could tell they put a lot of work into building it. They were so excited to tell me all about it when I went over and told them how awesome it was.

This group of children  really enjoyed building with magnet tiles, they also love any and all kinds of animals so we have animals that go with the weeks theme in their blocks area. The children like to make houses for the animals we have out. This play is similar to your presentation in the way that they are connecting things to build the houses. They make connections to their own lives and houses when you ask them about the houses they are making. ]]> 2021-04-23 03:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1450298505 https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1453188868 One type of play that is very common in my placement is building things, mostly towers. Everyday during stations the toddlers like to make a “tower” with either the magnet tiles or the LEGO’s. Then after the tower is built they enjoy destroying it and then building it again. This type of play I think connects with your presentation because they are stacking things and noticing how these magnet tiles or LEGO’s connect. They are making these connections on their own and I am just their to validate their thinking and even sometimes stretch their thinking about this type of play. ]]> 2021-04-23 18:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1453188868 https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1453520226 2021-04-23 20:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1453520226 https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1453526661 The main type of play that I see is dramatic play in my placement. Because this is a Montessori school they do not do much playing but they are very good at using their imaginations to play. They tend to use outside objects as tools for their themed play. They use a big log as their spaceship so they can play paw patrol. This connects to the presentation because they do a lot of role playing as their play.

We are currently having a construction week, so we have a shelf holding hard hats, goggles, tools, construction trucks, and other materials for students to explore being a construction worker. We have a mirror near the dramatic play center where children can look and see themselves as a construction worker. When we take walks and see construction workers on campus, we point out their hard hats, goggles, and other things the children found in our dramatic play center. We also always have a kitchen with food and pots as well as cribs with baby dolls that they use for dramatic play. I have found it to be very similar as the concepts you discussed in your presentation, especially object substitution and creating their own rules. ]]> 2021-04-23 20:47:16 UTC https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1453600401 https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1454073122 One of the main types of play I see in my placement is dramatic play. Right now the dramatic play area is set up as a kitchen with food and pots and pans. There is also an area for dress up and baby dolls. Lately, the children say they are playing "family." They even do this when they aren't in the kitchen or dramatic play area. They also play family outside, especially in the sand. One common theme in their family play is that they always pick roles for the family. The roles often change as sometimes they are parents, children, or pets. This connects to your representation of dramatic play by picking roles. The children almost always talk about the roles they are going to pick before they play. Sometimes they even negotiate the roles or change them as they continue playing.]]> 2021-04-24 02:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1454073122 https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1456956861 We have many different types of play incorporated throughout the day. One that I find the most interesting is dramatic play. There are so many options but some that we have done in my classroom is a space station and a grocery store which were a huge hit and so fun to watch the children play at. One that we are setting up right now for my lead week is a garden shop, I am so excited to see how the students like it. This connects to your presentation because you talked about role playing, and the students do that constantly throughout the day, even when they aren't at the dramatic play center.

I have seen and heard them come up with stories about what is behind their building, one child came to join the play and once the other three children told them about what they were building they said that no it should be a pirate ship, which the other children thought was a great idea, so they re-worked their building to fit the narrative of a pirate ship, which had them playing pirates at outside play time as well, they even played with little figures later in the day and they continued with their pirate narrative. This was similar to multiple times of play that you mentioned in your presentation, but I think closely related to dramatic play area. ]]> 2021-05-02 21:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/butschermaria7/inggrnjmipmjju2w/wish/1483167458
