"It's Recall Time! It's Recall Time! It's Recall Time right now! Where did you work? Where did you work? Where did you work and how?"
During Recall Time, the friends choose one plan that they remember working on and really enjoying. We also use this time of day to remember problems we encountered, and how they were solved. We can also remember the process of how we accomplished something, like setting up tracks, doing art, or building a structure. We practice listening to our friends before responding or asking questions.
This part of the day works our mental muscles to remember details, practice language, and social skills. Sometimes we also draw pictures of what we worked on as well to practice visual representation.
Last week, these are the plans that our school friends chose to remember and draw. Friend "H" worked really hard to line up wooden ramps and send balls down the tracks. He especially likes to include the tubes for the balls to make tunnels.
Friend "K" chose to recall her Block Area plan where she found the princesses and furniture she wanted to use and arranged it in the castle. Some of the furniture pieces did not fit in the rooms she wanted and so she had to rearrange things or choose different furniture to accomplish her plan. During Recall, she was able to remember all of the princesses that she chose for the castle.
