Building Together

This morning the boys took to the carpet and started building small towers together! It isn't every day that the three of them want to play the same thing, but today they all seemed to gravitate towards the large blue blocks and the cardboard bricks strewn across the floor. With a little bit of help stabilize the base, the boys were taking turns stacking different pieces on top of one another and then ultimately knocking them down. It was fun to watch the boys get excited for one another when they took turns to push over each structure. As they continue to grow closer as a class they have been showing more care for one another and genuinely want each other to succeed.

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...
