Observation: Three weeks ago, the children were able to open and close the boxes that I had incorporated with musical instruments. They used the boxes as musical instruments by tapping the bottom of them, using them as a standing tool, or simply practicing how to open and close them. When I hid something in the box they kept opening it and smiled as they opened it. In the room we had this big coffee can with holes in the plastic lid. The children removed the blue plastic lid and poured the small metal lids onto the floor. The children also placed the small metal lids through the holes in the plastic lid continuously while making sounds. Dialogue and reflection: The children were engaged in functional games while listening to the sound of the lid hitting the bottom (Lew, 2012). . The children were also engaged in solitary play while playing with toys without being involved with other children (Lew, 2012). It seems like the kids were interested in opening the boxes and seeing what's inside. The children appear to have demonstrated their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination when they opened the boxes and tried to close them. Children are already experiencing mathematics in their daily lives. They practice it by associating touch, smell and voice with their parents and educators (Lockwood, 2013). Children learn mathematical connections through learning experiences. In my Curriculum Design course, I learned that by playing with a box, children can learn object permanence when we hide a toy inside it (Lockwood, 2013). Children will be aware of their spatial sense as they hold the container or box of chocolate and notice its shape (Lockwood, 2013). According to Berk (2012), when children learn to move on their own their opportunities... in the center of the paper... attached to the containers. I will model how to roll up the tin can and grab it to encourage them to crawl or walk. I will also show them how to open and close the containers. Challenges, I will challenge the kids to pull or push the sticks through the plastic lids. By telling, explaining and informing, while the children open, close, pull, push or roll the containers, I will name what they are doing or playing with. Lew, T. (2012, September 28).

Humber College ITALAction: I will participate during the experience showing them how to push and pull. I will supervise and observe how the children engage in this experience, how they experience the materials. I will encourage throughout the experience and give help when needed.
