Teamwork is Dreamwork!

In our building area, children were working together to build a tall, tall tower! Each child worked on different sides to connect the magnetic tiles together. When children interact in this way we see cooperation, negotiation, planning, revising, and communicating with one another. 

G - Something fell down there

J - Yeah, it did

C - We are making it really tall

J - We are going to make it bigger than you! 

C - For real, we are

Then we asked, "What if you start building with the big blocks at the bottom?"

 

AHHHHHHHH!!!

G - I'm building a floor

C - That might help us! 

I wonder if building floors will help it from falling apart? 

J - If it gets harder, we can stand on the chairs

V - That might be too many on there

C - Yeah, we will have to do it one at a time, not all together

G - We need to fit that hole! 

C - We have to make a window

J - Yeah people need them

C - Especially when it's raining. You need a window then.

We went for our first walk to go visit the chickens across the street! Children noticed their feathers, the tomatoes growing over head, and the bawking of the chickens.
