Today on the playground Rosie took a piece of paper and a purple marker and made a dot. But she pressed so hard on the paper that she made a hole in the paper! She didn't want a paper with a hole in it so she took another piece.
We looked at the paper with the hole and reflected on how she made it. She told me that when she was coloring she pressed hard and then there was a hole!
I told her that it is helpful to keep this experience in mind because sometimes, we might want a hole in our paper and other times we might not.
After a bit, I looked over at Rosie's drawing and saw that she had created something beautiful and that the paper had TWO holes in it!
I asked her what she made and she informed me that she had created a, "hot air balloon kitty" and that she pressed down with her marker to make two holes for the eyes!
I thought it was so neat that Rosie transformed her idea that hole in paper were "bad" and that she decided to use this technique to create something beautiful and meaningful for her!
