Peaceful Morning

 This morning J came in with a purpose at the light table. He noticed a big stack of transparent magnetic blocks sitting on the table and his eyes lit up! J began to get to work. He carefully separated out the different shaped pieces- triangles, squares, circles, etc. Once he sorted out the blocks he began construction. He worked quickly and with purpose as he looked around and began putting pieces together. 

"A house!" he exclaimed as he put the finishing touches for the roof. He continued to play out a scenario as he built and stacked. 



J looked over and noticed that I was sitting at a table near him. He loaded up a basket of magnetic tiles and brought them to me. 
"House!" he said indicating he wanted me to build a house too. We built some together. 





J was so engaged as he continued to build and play a familiar story in his head. He would crash the blocks, laugh, and then begin to build again. He spent most of his morning just enjoying some at the light table to start his Wednesday. A lovely way to start any day.

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...
