Construction ChallengesOn Tuesday, we introduced a new but familiar material into the construction area: tape. Using rolls of tape and blocks children made bridges and roads for matchbox vehicles. The process was fun, but presented challenges. As they navigated this experience, children had to use critical thinking and engage in a great deal of collaboration.
As the play in this area progressed, there were many crashes. As one block fell, it often brought down the other roads that were connected by the tape. The result was somewhat dystopian, but not unsatisfactory. From our reflection time: Whit - (Building with tape) was a little bit too goofy and too much crashing. Ford - Everything got knocked down Cal - It looked so weird when everything crashed. Kinda cool.
A Quick Look at Everything ElseWe have really enjoyed the beautiful weather this week. We have been playing outside and making messages and making messages outside. Of course, we always make time for drawing.
