Emergent curriculum usually comes from the children, but it can also come from events in the teacher's life. In this case, it came from having too many cups left over after a Girl Scout project last night! I stacked some during group time and then left them in the block area...it was such a big hit, we had to raid the teacher's lounge for more! There was counting, patterning, motor control, cooperation, persistance in problem solving, exploring the concepts of more and less, and the use of word endings like big, bigger, biggest...Who knew so much learning could be found in a cup?
