Forest Cake

E, V, & B were crowded around a large branch. They were working quickly and talking quietly to one another. Suddenly, they yelled, "We made our friends a cake!"

"We picked all the stuff around here."
"We needed flowers."
"I picked the purple ones."
"Yeah, and I picked the ones over there by the bees."



"We need more flowers!"
"Here, put this here."

The three worked together to build a large mound of leaves, grass, and flowers. They carefully chose each flower. 

"We need the small purple ones!"


"Wait, it's not done yet. We need to bake the cake!"
"Yeah, we need to take it to Paris to bake it."



E joined in on the play and immediately started contributing leaves to the pile. 
"Wait, we need green ones. The brown ones are fire!"

E went back and found some large green leaves to add. 


"We need to bake a new cake!"
"Hurry, get more flowers!"


Listening to the conversations of the children sparked a lot of different questions. They talked a lot about where to bake the cake and what the cake might taste like. Each one of them contributed to both the physical building of the cake and the conversation around the cake.

They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.  "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope." B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.  The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.  "It needs a propeller so it can move!" How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...
