They say that we need introverts because in their quiet
reflection, they often provide the ideas and inspirations that lead us. We love that in Emma’s quiet way, she
unknowingly, while following her own interests, changed the course of our
classroom. We could not have anticipated
how things would change when she simply brought to school a few fans that she
had made with Joyce in after care.
The fans sparked the “Fans and Guns” game that brought
the once separate boys and girls of the Meadow Room together.
Even with this, Emma and her close friends remained out
of the frenzy, quietly enjoying their own type of play with each other.
Emma took on the challenge one day of making a fan as
big as she could by attaching many fans together. Sophie said “if she keeps working on it
everyday it could be a whole circle”.
The fans have also made a circle of our school as we
have now connected with many of the other classrooms, all the way through
middle school.
