I really like this! It made me think again that we may be spoon feeding our students and limiting their thinking. I would love to hear how teachers are actually doing this in their classrooms.

Yes, we shouldn’t under estimate how well our students can think. Actually when we let them ask, we are letting their inner voices out!
This could help teachers think about their role in the classroom and in the lives of their students. Being a facilitator in young children’s classroom could make a huge difference in their journey of learning. It helps them pursue that journey using their created learning map guided by their inner motivation.

What is documentation? Knowing what is documentation is the first stage of understanding the process. Katz and Chard offer this explanation: “Documentation typically includes samples of a child’s work at several different stages of completion: photographs showing work in prog- ress; comments written by the teacher or other adults working with the children; transcriptions of children’s discussions, comments, and explana- tions of intentions about the activity; and comments made by parents” (1996, 2).
