EARLY LEARNING CENTRE LEARNING

EXPERIENCE
Student Name: Vanessa Uy
Age Group: Preschool

Date: November 10, 2016

Purpose:
Children were out during gross motor activities outdoors. The
leaves have been falling all week and the children have been
thrilled. The children were raking all the leaves into one big pile
Purpose:
Reason for developing
learning experience. This
could be in response to an
observation, discussion with
the site supervisor, Ontario
Curriculum Objective, etc.

until one child decided to sit in the middle of the pile of leaves
and this conversation started:
Child A: Look how big our pile is!
Child B: I wanna jump on top of the pile!
Child A: I am going to sit down in the middle.
Child C: You are like a birdie sitting inside a nest!
Child A: Then I will be the mommy bird
Child B: I will be the daddy bird
Child C: I wanna be a birdie in the nest too!
Then the children asked if they could bring leaves and sticks
back into the classroom so that they could make their own nests

inside.
After consideration, the children decided that they would like to

- Label your experience (e.g.


Painting with cars).
- What are your 3 objectives

Bird Nest Making Part 1

for this experience? (i.e.

- List the materials and
resources you will use
- Describe the
implementation of the
experience, with a step by
step description
- List and describe 2 teaching
strategies. How will you
use them? Why have you
chosen these strategies?

Materials:
-

Colored Foam Eggs


Leaves
Sticks
Glue
Feathers
Cardboard Containers

Implementation:
1. Allow the children to gather their own leaves and
materials from outside.
2. Set-up the table so that materials are accessible to all the
children and the environment is set up so that they can
read the cues.
3. Allow children to help set-up the space, and choose
what materials to put on the table.
4. Mix the glue and add food coloring to further the
creative experience for the children
5. When the children start creating their nests, give the
children the eggs.
Teaching Strategies:
1. Sensory Engagement:

The children will learn through firsthand experience and


contact with the objects itself. They were allowed to
choose their own materials for the nests and had a lot of
say as to what they wanted to do. The children will
explore different textures and materials from nature and
find a better understanding of nature itself.
2. Invitations:
I will use various invitations such as:
- Come look at what we are doing!
- What kind of leaves did you choose for your nest?
- Look at the nests everyone is making!
