In this investigation, we  encouraging children to generate their own ideas.  Small group activities encourage creativity and original thinking. We explore shapes, blocks, building,  and design in an effort to bring ideas to life.  During play, children use open ended materials to promote creativity and shape their ideas.  From paintings, to block structures, to baby birthday parties, there are many ways to generate ideas in our classroom.  These opportunities build confidence, as children realize their ideas are important, and make the world a more interesting place.
