Creating a Take Home Activity

For class this week, we all presented our take home activities and gave each other feedback on our ideas. I was grateful for the feedback of my peers because I would have tried using straws with mine and it probably wouldn't have worked as well as pipe cleaners. They also suggested adding bells to the bottom of mine so it would make more of a sound when Ezra uses the drum sticks on it.

I liked talking about making the activities appropriate for future development because it helped to hear the insights from my peers. Some of my peers had really creative ideas that I was tempted to switch my activity, but I decided mine would work best for helping Ezra learn how to put his hand into a fist.

I was grateful for the health and safety discussions we had as a class while we presented our ideas because one of the activities looked like it wouldn't be very safe for children, but after she explained how it was going to work, it looked like it would be a safe activity.
