"...he finally came out with a single marble. But the boy who received it smiled so brightly in return, the king went back for more things." An excerpt from the story "The Quiltmaker's gift" by Jeff Brumbeau
That single marble was the beginning of experiencing the marvellous feeling of giving and sharing happiness with another.
The children brainstormed ideas of what one could do with a marble and the list went on and on.
Grace "Share it with others."
Kesler "Give it away to someone that likes marbles."
Angela "My brother would love to play with it."
Grace "We could build a marble game."
Kesler "Matthew and I like to play with the marble game."
One way of using marbles that the children didn't think of is for painting. The pictures demonstrate their enthusiasm when it came to experiencing this new technique.
