Drawing During Inside Time

During inside time, the children were particularly interested in drawing on whiteboards with dry erase markers. Sydney B. and Robert learned how to navigate sharing the space on the whiteboard, so that they could both use it at the same time. They found that visually dividing the whiteboard by drawing a line down the middle helped them share in a way that was fair. They created their separate doodles on their own sides, but when the line was accidentally erased, they worked together to recreate the line. Other than utilizing the whiteboards to draw, at the writing table Ryan and Caleb engaged in drawing magnetiles with regular markers and colored construction paper. Ryan traced the square magnetiles whereas Caleb drew squares as he looked over at the magnetiles in front of him.
