10 Month Old Jude

Jude is 10 months old and is playing with big foam blocks in the infant classroom. He is picking blocks up and stacking them two at a time. He notices a group of several blocks that are different shapes, so he crawls to them. Upon his arrival he sits and picks the blocks up one at a time to investigate them. He stacks two of them and then tries to stack two more but quickly learns that they do not stack as well as he had hoped. He returns to the first set of blocks and continues playing. His teacher brings the other group of blocks near so that he can try using them together.

1) How does Jude’s teacher support STEM in his block play?

2) If she did not bring the blocks over would his play still support STEM?

In both situations the teacher is supporting the STEM. Jude is exploring with the big foam blocks. He is picking them up and stacking them. The new blocks are of different shapes and he is trying to problem solved but finds they don't stack as the others. So he goes back to the others, but his teacher inagrates the different shape blocks for him to have more of a choice.

1.) The teacher is supporting STEM by allowing the child to examine and explore the different blocks. With the different blocks it allows the child to count, stack, and investigate the different materials.
2.) Yes, it would still be using STEM.

Kayley

She encouraged her student to continue investigating all the blocks by bringing over more to him after leaving the second group. If she had not done that, his block play would still be STEM because he would continue to play with them, investigate what he could do with the blocks.

The teacher is supporting the STEM in his block play by enriching the area with different types of blocks..He is exploring them his own way .She isn't forcing him to play with the other blocks but is presenting the options. She lets him make the choices..it is good that she was attentive to what he was doing so she could interact the way she did..I think he would have explored it on his own tho...

The teacher supports STEM in both situations.
By giving him extra blocks to explore more with engineering skills.
without extra blocks also using the STEM by stacking and touchingthe blocks

Rachel Ellen Hawkins

9/16/2018 05:48:40 pm

She supports stem by encouraging him to be persistent and find a way to make the blocks work together
Even if she had not brought the other blocks to him, he is still being creative and exploring shapes and building with the blocks that he had

Willa

1) She supports STEM by offering him a bigger variety of blocks to explore. She is encouraging him to try different solutions to his block building problems. 2) Yes. She is still using STEM because he can learn from the big foam blocks. He can explore their shapes and textures and try to build structures.

Kathryn Gallagher

the STEM is supported by the various shapes & sizes of blocks

Betty

9/29/2018 11:41:11 am

the STEM is supported by the various shapes & sizes of blocks. STEM would have been support without the other blocks

Diana Murphy

9/30/2018 01:02:32 pm

The teacher is allowing the child to experiment with stacking and giving them more options by adding blocks.

Sandi

10/9/2018 07:24:52 pm

When the child goes back to the original two blocks, the teacher adds the other blocks so the child would have more options

Yes the teacher is supporting stem by having various shapes and sizes of blocks but I believe stem would have been supported even if she hadn't moved the other group closer

merlyn

1> Jude is examining the first set of blocks and the second set also. he is building and problem solving which is using stem learning.

2> Yes without the second set of bocks it would still be stem learning

Virginia

10/27/2018 12:41:09 pm

Obviously STEM is supported through block play. The teacher is scaffolding learning by introducing other blocks if the child uses them or not the child is aware of them.

Lynn link

10/27/2018 09:30:24 pm

Yes, the teacher is supporting STEM play by just providing the blocks for the child to explore. By bringing the other blocks over and combining them with the ones he was already playing with, she just presented an opportunity for him to integrate the blocks and see how they work together. It is the child's choice if he wanted to try them.

Riki Beamer

10/28/2018 12:19:53 pm

The teacher is teaching persistence by trying something new that may work better. yes it would

Juliana

1. Teacher supporting Stem by giving other options to keep him playing. With the other blocks he will continue to explore and imaging to stock more and counting.
2. Yes, it still using STEM.

WAI YI CHAN

11/2/2018 07:43:12 pm

The teacher encourage the child to explore though the child playing with big foam blocks. The teacher encourage the child to solve the problem that brings the other group of blocks near so that the child can try using them together.

Michele

11/5/2018 09:31:21 am

The child is practicing math and engineering with the investigating. The teacher encourages the child to investigate the other blocks more by bringing them to the child's attention.

janelle

The child was allowed to make his own identifying observations. The 2nd group of blocks did not fit his hypothesis, so he made the decision to use only the 1st set of blocks. The Teacher enhanced the child's STEM process by encouraging another try with the blocks. STEM was supported because the teacher did not steal the learning process by demonstrating what to do. The teacher encouraged problem solving and critical thinking.

Mallory Lubking

11/19/2018 06:39:50 pm

It gives him an option to build something with different shapes and trying to discover what blocks he can use to make the second bucket of blocks stack as well

Mallory Lubking

11/19/2018 07:41:01 pm

Letting the toddler explore and discover different ways to stack the blocks

Nancy Lemaster

11/24/2018 01:11:05 pm

1.The teacher is supporting stem by letting him explore if the blocks will work together or not which helps him to problem solve with the blocks.
2.Even if she didn't bring over the second set of blocks his play is still supporting Stem

Makenzie Chamberlin

11/28/2018 06:40:47 pm

1) The teacher is showing STEM by letting that child explore with not only one pair of blocks but two different kinds of blocks. This allows the child to explore and examine both blocks at the same time.
2)Yes, it would still be using STEM.

Marylou

11/30/2018 09:35:49 am

1. yes she did support the STEM, she teaches him to explore with different blocks and use his creativity.
2. Even by letting the toddler explore and discover different ways to stack the blocks on his own without introducing another block his play still supports STEM.

Marylou

11/30/2018 10:54:26 pm

The teacher is supporting STEM play by bringing extra blocks over and allowing him to explore on his own.
Even if the teacher didn’t bring the blocks over he is still discovering how to build the blocks he has without then falling.

Terri Adams

12/2/2018 01:51:51 pm

Yes she is still supporting STEM. By giving him the opportunity to explore the blocks.

Emily Bays

12/2/2018 08:07:40 pm

She was bring the second group of blocks over so that way he was able to use them together and be able to find a way to build something with all of t he blocks.

Yes, because he is still building and discovering how to put them togerther.

Maria Reyna

12/3/2018 12:55:19 pm

Yes the teacher is still supporting STEM because she is allowing the child explore the blocks by himself.

Lynze

1) How does Jude’s teacher support STEM in his block play?

Jude's teacher encourages STEM in his block play by offering different shaped blocks for the child to explore and use, and encouraging combining the multiple different blocks together.

2) If she did not bring the blocks over would his play still support STEM?

Yes

Shawnell Johnson

12/17/2018 06:05:56 pm

She supports STEM by introducing the other set of blocks to encourage curiosity and motivation to try new things. She should have brought over the other set of blocks because that helps the child make newer connections and inspires the child.

Kailey Daugherty

12/19/2018 10:52:48 am

1. She supports STEM by giving him more variety to explore and encourages him to try different methods to his block building. 2. She still supports STEM because he can learn new ways build while exploring their shapes/texture and learn different ways to use the big foam blocks

Brianna Tumacder

12/19/2018 12:59:58 pm

1) How does Jude’s teacher support STEM in his block play?
Jude's teacher is encouraging Jude to find a solution and another way to use the second set of blocks that will work and stack the way he hypothesizes. Its also teaching him that persistence is key to finding a solution.

2) If she did not bring the blocks over would his play still support STEM?
Yes, Jude is still exploring blocks by stacking and sorting. Jude will still encounter trial and error while creating thus encouraging him to continue to problem solve.

Jacqueline

12/19/2018 04:23:43 pm

She notice the different color,shape and size! she still would be able to use STEM with the first set of blocks.

emily

12/22/2018 03:43:31 pm

1 yes she supports STEM with different blocks.
2 he can still learn new way with different shape, color and size of blocks.

maria jewsbury

12/22/2018 07:03:04 pm

yes teacher is supporting the STEM .the both situation

David Hagopian

12/22/2018 08:26:58 pm

1) His teacher is providing the opportunity to work with new materials to achieve the same function or goal.

2) The child would still be practicing STEM with the first set of blocks since the child is still working with different shapes and sizes.

Tina

12/22/2018 08:34:32 pm

1. The teacher is helping to encourage the child to try new blocks that he wasn't comfortable using - allowing the child to create new designs.
2. STEM is still encouraged because the child is still learning about geometry (math) and some designs (engineering)

Krystal

12/22/2018 08:36:55 pm

1. The teacher is helping the child to explore new blocks that might achieve the same outcome - or provide a new outcome because additional blocks are incorporated in the design.
2. Without the new block set, the teacher is still encouraging STEM by allowing the child to problem solve and identify differences between blocks.

Naoko

12/23/2018 04:24:56 pm

1) By bring different blocks to Jade, he can have problem solving opportunities which might stack 2 different blocks together.

2) Yes, because Jude is exploring the blocks also investigating some shaped blocks can stuck together but some are not.

yvonne hetherington

12/26/2018 07:48:09 am

The teacher is supporting stem by providing multiple types and shapes of blocks for the toddler to explore. Though the teacher brought the blocks over to the toddler, the teacher would still be supporting stem by having the materials available for the toddler to explore.

Cynthia

12/27/2018 09:05:30 am

Jude's teacher is supporting stem in Jude's block play by helping problem solve to see which size of blocks balance his block towers better. And yes if teacher did not bring the other group of block Jude's play would still support stem.

Marie

12/27/2018 07:35:03 pm

Yes, STEM is being supported by the different sizes and shapes to explore.

Heather

12/28/2018 10:43:19 am

1) She encourages exploration of different blocks, and problem solving of blocks that don't stack as well as previous blocks stacked. Then she further encourages this by mixing the two block types together.
2) He was still learning STEM with the previous blocks because he was still investigating and building with the blocks.

Luz Maria Gonzalez Duran

12/28/2018 12:59:10 pm

Yes the teacher is supporting STEM in both situation by allowing the child to explore his options and by provocations with his choices.

ann

12/28/2018 02:49:05 pm

Yes she did support the STEM, she taught him to explore with different blocks and use his creativity.
2. Even without introduced him to the second set of blocks, the stucking and touching of blocks support the STEM.

Yelika Villamizar

12/30/2018 02:24:08 pm

Teacher encouraged the play with block and hense STEM learnig process. She observed what her student is doing and how she face other expiriences. No matter if she put the other set of block near to her student, form the beginning, she is estimulating STEM in the infant.

Heidi

12/30/2018 04:27:35 pm

1. STEM is supported first of all by simply having blocks of different shape, color and size. Which is encouraging Jude to us his creativity in stacking the blocks, exploring and investigating other shapes.
2. Yes, STEM is supported either way.

Brandy

12/30/2018 09:29:49 pm

She supports his play by allowing him to explore the building blocks on his own. It would still support STEM play because he is figuring out how to stack the blocks.

Samuel

12/31/2018 09:14:18 am

1) the teacher is encouraging the child to continue exploring the differently shaped blocks to see if they can be stacked.

2) yes it still supports STEM.

lani

STEM is supported by including different blocks and encouraging variation. Engineering and spatial awareness are being practiced when stacking and exploring.

Chal

1/27/2019 06:38:40 pm

The teacher is helping to support this form of development by providing Jude with different shapes of blocks for building. Combining the less stackable ones with the first allows Jude to problem solve.
Even without moving the blocks, they are still there for Jude to play with, so the skills are still being developed. He made the choice of the two sets to work with one that he found to be easier to stack and play with.

Obalvanna Chi

1/28/2019 10:47:51 am

Jude's teacher supported STEM learning by bringing the other blocks that did not stack up over to Jude to allow to play with them if he wanted to. Also, using the other blocks that he previously played with is still engaging in STEM activities.

Anita

1/28/2019 07:31:26 pm

Teacher is allowing the child various shapes and size of blocks.

Raheleh Mehrjoo

Raheleh Mehrjoo

1/30/2019 10:27:11 pm

in both way the teacher is supporting the child skills, but with bringing the other blocks to the child is helping him to explore new things.

Emma

2/10/2019 09:15:32 am

Both the child playing by himself and the teacher bringing in new blocks support STEM. She noticed he could use a challenge with new blocks to explore. When she brought the new ones over it allowed him to try to stack blocks differently. If he can’t figure it out he can go back to interact with the other ones. He is problem solving and using persistence to reach a goal.

Manali

Judes teacher supports STEM through his block play by providing him with the tools to explore, learn and create. He is able to problem solve with the different sizes of blocks, as well as feel and see the difference is size and shape. And yes Judes play would still support STEM had she not brought the other blocks over. He still has the opportunity to problem slove and use his senses to explore with the one size of blocks.

nathan

3/19/2019 09:04:48 pm

1. The teacher is supporting STEM by allowing the child to look at explore the different blocks with all the blocks it allows the child to count and build.
2.yes, it would still be using STEM.

marcia

4/1/2019 07:29:07 am

The teacher provides several different shaped blocks, some that stack well and others that don't, within reach of the child who can explore or go back and forth between them. In this case the teacher brought all the blocks together.

The child had access to the other shaped blocks and took an interest in them, even though he didn't initially find the result he wanted.

TINGTING CAI

4/7/2019 11:27:19 am

1) His teacher is providing the opportunity to work with new materials to achieve the same function or goal.
