I love clipboards. We use them for a variety of things. I like to add them to different activities, encouraging the kids to record their ideas or incorporate writing into their play.
A couple of weeks ago we had blocks, tools, and clipboards. I never know exactly what will happen when I add clipboards to the blocks center. Sometimes the kids push them aside and ignore them. Sometimes the clipboards become part of a building project. And sometimes the clipboards encourage writing.
This time.....

| We drew objects. |
 |
| We traced tools. |
 |
| We traced blocks. |
 |
| We drew buildings. |
And when I walked by the "take home" table, I found this.
 |
G drew a picture of what he constructed.
And learned that he can use writing to record his thoughts and ideas.

I love an early childhood classroom and all the discoveries that can be found. Especially when I get to find them.
