He would do the whole course, but for some reason was not on board with crossing over the curved piece we deemed the bridge. If you notice in the video below, he approaches it and then decides on a different route. It was hilarious! For whatever reason, A did not feel comfortable walking over it, even with assistance. It was quite curious, but he always had a plan in place. He continued to zig and zag across the course and paying close attention to which blocks he was going to attempt to walk across. It is always enjoyable to sit and observe play, especially by our friends with emerging language.

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...
