Magic Carpet
After reading Chantelle's Lay of the Land essay, I feel as if I have been to the day care that she observed before. The bold and bright details that she used captivated me in the essay, and it was like I could see the children and hear their voices in all of the chaos. As Chantelle maps out the day care, she briefly mentions the rug area of the classroom.
"How about you meet me on the rug and ill go get the globe."
The globe, the stories, the wonder of it all. From Chantelle's observations, I felt as if the rug was like a magic carpet, where the children could adventure into their imaginations. China was a chinese food restaurant, and all the kids knew was "I think I can, I think I can." On the rug, the children could do anything and be anyone. The magic carpet.
