Video Descripton

Ms. B uses Playful Instruction to let her 4K children practice literacy skills by placing the Lego blocks on the pre-designed word cards. The word cards reflect the classroom unit of study, animals. The children spend some time practicing pre-writing skills with the Lego blocks. In the middle of their play, some children change playful instruction to guided play -TC (Teacher initiated & Child directed) where they start building their own structure with the Legos.
