The Pine friends joined in with kids from Dogwood to participate in weekly capers. They enjoy being able to play with friends from the other class in addition to getting to play with the materials they have out in their room.
This week B, L, E, & C worked on building with magnetic blocks.
"You have to follow the instructions so you can build different stuff! Like me, I am building this thing that doctors use and put around their neck and listen to people."
B began constructing what looked exactly like a stethoscope.
"The instructions tell you to build it like this and so that's what I am doing."
"I am using the instructions to build a rocket ship! But I am also making it like this. It needs wheels like like this thing here and a fan!"
"Rocket ships don't have fans!"
"Mine does!"
"Mine does!"
As the boys and L built they talked about the different modifications they did instead of following the instructions exactly. They bargained with one another to use different parts and even added on to one another's.
