Line of Inquiry: The jobs people do in our community support its development
There is a store in between Scotiabank and Bean Around The World on Dunbar street that is all closed up with paper taped on the windows. The children were intrigued - what type of store could have been here? We imagined we were going to open up a business that our community needs and came up with some possible ideas; a dress shop, a Christmas tree store, a shoe store and a toy store. Next week, we'll develop these ideas and explore how these stores would help in the development in our community and set up a store in the daycare for some drama play.
Near this closed shop is the Barber shop. Many of the children recalled going to the Barber shop to watch Simone's dad get a shave and a haircut. We watched the process of the customer getting a shave on a Youtube video. I recalled as a child watching my dad shave and pretending to shave along with him lathering my face with shaving cream. The children wanted to try too! So off we went to "the barber shop" (the bathroom) and everyone lathered up and used a popcycle "razor" to shave.
The children enjoyed the slippery texture of the shaving cream so we extended this idea by finger painting with shaving cream!
