If at first you don't succeed...
Grit was the name of the game today! We had a new friend join our class and we learned quickly he is an expert climber. After a friend noticed he was able to climb up the snails back, they wanted to try too. But try as they might, there was not success. We asked WL to show us how he climbed up, then tried to replicate his strategy. You can see from the video, it did not work. But we were not ready to give up yet!
So what could we do? It looked so fun to climb up there, to see the playscape from a new perspective. As a good friend of ours in Magnolia likes to say "teamwork makes the dream work." One person grabbed a small piece of wood. Good try! Not tall enough. Another friend grabbed a rock. Great - still not tall enough... Two more? YES!
Only, now we have a new problem. The stack was only stable for one climb. What can we do to fix that? Resident engineer, MF, quickly rearranged the stack to put the largest piece on the bottom and smallest on the top. Again - SUCCESS! Thanks to the collective problem solving of a couple friends, everyone who wanted a turn was able to climb up the snails head. :)
