We began the session outdoor as Nicholas assisted me in watering a thirsty tree and plants. We discussed the importance of caring for nature, the skills needed, the responsibility it teaches, and the value it serves to the environment. We engaged in some narrative pantomime, with Nicholas being the story-teller/leader and I, the student. Nicholas has an active imagination and runs with whatever activity is going on at the moment that stimulates his interest- often taking the story on tangential directions that are playfully constructive, wildly imaginative, and that reveal his understanding and knowledge of the subject matter, as well as his care, empathy, and compassion. Today, he took some parts of a dying plant and re-potted it in a pot he found, directing me to assist him in the endeavor and creating a story around it involving a new plant growing and efforts to sustain and nourish it properly. We then proceeded indoors to the science lab where Nicholas and I continued improvisational activities involving him as a scientist in a lab and me as the new hire under the watchful eye of an unseen boss. Allowing and facilitiating Nicholas in such creative outlets and activities respects his subjectivity and inherent nature to explore, allows him to use his senses and interpretative ability, permits a safe opportunity to diverge from conventional thought and action, and encourages and develops an empathic appreciation for different perspectives. While waiting for his grandparents to arrive, Nicholas was excited to engage in a watchful vigil, procuring imaginative props in which to outfit himself while watching from the outdoor preschool house that permitted a view of the school driveway. He first directed me to stand vigil, then he assumed the job, insisting that I get some rest, and ending the session in a suspenseful imaginative scenario involving team collaboration and partnership. It was a fun and engaging session, and Nicolas clearly appreciated being given the leeway and latitude to self-initiate activities and orchestrate dramatic play.
