The photo on the left was taken by myself on a walk to campus one day. I'm not sure what building this is but it's huge! The photo on the right was also taken by myself at my home up north in Muskoka. I didn't want to add just a boring photo of a building so I added a colourful nature filled photo of leaves last summer. These photos are very different from eachother, one coming from the busy city life that has creative designs and one from a natural and clean environment that shows creativity as well. These pictures also show that I have two different lifestyles, a city girl who is always on the go, and a layed back and relaxed girl who enjoys the outdoors and exploring the woods.
If I was an early childhood educator I would love to bring children to places where they are able to spot patterns in everyday life. It would be amazing to bring children to a city life landscape to spot patterns, and then bring them to a countryside area where they are still able to spot patterns, but patterns in nature. I would get the children to compare the patterns to one another. Spotting the patterns would help an early childhood educator discuss things like colour, shape, lines, texture, movement, etc. This will help children realize differences in city life patterns and countryside patterns.
