Day 1 of Yard Planning

Today some of the children visited the table with the photos of the yard and drew on them.  Some even cut the photos.  The teacher asked them questions such as:

“What do you like to do in the yard?”

“Would you like to draw something that you want to put in the yard?”

“Do you have ideas for our yard space?”

The children colored on the photos and some even cut the photos.  Did the children cut the photos to isolate one part of the photo or did they just want to practice cutting?  Did the children add color to the photos because they were in black and white?  If the photos were in color and the drawing tools were black, would they focus more on adding specific elements to the yard photos?

Here are some photos of their drawings:
