Following Friends

 It has been so good to have our friend B back in the classroom! Slowly our little class is growing and we are so excited about that. Today, B was reacquainted with the Dogwood class who are just right next door to our room. 

B really wanted to do one thing while playing near the pergola. He wanted to roll down the hill, but couldn't quite figure out where and didn't really want to do it alone. B pointed down to the ground and calmly asked to "roll" down the hill. He looked around a little bit and squatted down to get to the ground. B adjusted his body accordingly and tried rolling. He ended up catching an eye from a friend in Dogwood who immediately ran over and yelled, "I want to roll with you!"

B poked his head up and quickly got to his feet to move to where M was.

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...
