Mirrors

This afternoon when the kids walked into the classroom they noticed something different, there were large mirrors up against the wall. 

"Why are there mirrors in here?"
"I can see me in the mirror!"
"Look, I am writing here and in the mirror."

"It's so funny. My face is being so funny!"

The kids found the mirrors to be quite exciting as they were able to play at the table and see themselves as they worked. It wasn't until B approached the mirror that the kids noticed a basket of markers sitting next to the mirror. 

B picked one up and began doodling; watching himself in the mirror the whole time. 

His eyes followed each stroke he made. He used the marker to make big flowing lines across the whole mirror. Occasionally he would glace at his own reflection and begin to giggle. 

The mirrors have been a great addition to our room. The kids will walk by and admire themselves working at the table. Some kids would walk by and make faces or even draw faces with the markers. Such a fun new way to notice themselves!
