Transporting
Transporting
Children experiencing a transporting schema will be focused on moving objects from one place to another in the classroom space or outdoors.
What it might look like:
- stuffing objects into pockets
- filling wagons, wheelbarrows, dump trucks, etc. with toys or natural materials
- a child with their arms overflowing with toys
- a child taking all of the books off the shelf and stacking them up
