Practical work rocks!!!

After some days giving classes to the third and forth year i made some change in my work plans. I realize it's more important to produce something for the pre-school kids and increase my support when they are in the school. Specially in the morning when they are almost 80 with ages between 3 and 5. There's no conditions, neither working materials, to stay in the classrooms so it's necessary to think on what we can do in the way that they can develop their senses, their skills and be happy during that part of the day. The playground is in it's midlle phase so i decided to make some boxes in wood to "teach" them about shapes and colors. Simple and promoting the interaction between the child and the material. The boxes are ready, now it's only missing the pieces that i'm polishing and after painting.

It's going all right and i'm happy with it. The kids are curious about what i'm doing and they want to help. One of these days they make a "live concert" with some pieces. We dance and laugh together. With just some pieces of wood we make magic...
