A "turn and talk" is an opportunity to think along with one other child, while still being together as a whole group. Sitting knee to knee, the children passed a variety of paintbrushes and made predictions about the marks they might create.
They then began to experiment…
“It’s sort of like footprints.” MAREN
“I know this makes a straight thin line. I noticed it.” SEVI
“Look, look! Splat! Jump hopping!”
“Perfectly straight lines until…this one is getting bigger and bigger!” BIRDIE
"I'm making roads!" VIVIAN
Amongst all the excitement there was often a noticeable silence—a rhythmic silence that comes with flow. It spoke of concentration and ease.
