I'm very excited to introduce "Private Eyes" into our class. It is a way we can explore and investigate our environment. I am documenting this project as part of my field study with SFU Graduate Diploma. A big thank you goes to Lukas' mom, Mrs. Blokzyl from Kanaka Diamond & Gold as she was so kind to order three class sets for our school at a great price!
At times the Private eyes will be used to draw, write and theorize in their own 'Explore Journal'. The goal is to incorporate the Private Eyes in play/inquiry, create questions, connections, thinking comparatively, theorizing and wonderment.
Here we are all looking at our own hands to see how it looks to look through the Private Eye.
Now we are exploring with the Private Eyes in our courtyard!
After exploring we drew and wrote in our explore journal what we saw and what it reminds us of. You will notice that we use pen for drawing in certain books as it has less friction than a pencil and the glide helps with drawing details. Of course everyone thinks its so cool to use pen especially in Grade One!
If anyone has some great ideas for exploring with the "Private Eyes" please let me know. Even if you have something interesting we can borrow for awhile to look at through the Private Eyes, the kids would love it.
