Materials as Languages
Materials become "languages for learning" when children have had many meaningful experiences with them, and the children are able to use them with intention to:
- REPRESENT
- NARRATE
- IDENTIFY and
- COMMUNICATE
their theories, feelings and stories about life, and their aesthetic relationship with the world.
