Good afternoon! The Birch room has been very interested in connecting materials together. Whether it's connectors, train tracks, blocks, plus-plus toys or leggos...we are building and connecting! Take a look at some of their work this morning!
Zooming in...
Two students began to build the connectors together. They shared that it was "a giraffe's neck" and wanted to see how tall they could make their creation.
Another friend connected pieces and shared how his creation "is a monkey's tail. Monkey tails' are very long."
As the building continued, other friends came over and decided to build their own creations.
Another student joined the play area and began to make the connectors as long as the table. She worked on connecting the pieces and stood her tower up, saying "it's as tall as my mouth!"
After reaching this accomplishment, she shared "I'm going to make it as tall as myself!" She continued this challenge, checking the height of her creation, comparing it to her own height. Once she reached her height, she realized she needed some help keeping the tower up. Coincidentally, other friends joined in on the play, helping her hold the tower of connectors.
As they worked together, they decided to make the tower as tall as the ceiling. They asked themselves, "how are we going to get it all the way up there?" One student shared his idea saying, "Ms. Susie can stand on the table and we can hand her the pieces." Other friends began to build a stool out of classroom blocks.
After building as high as they could reach, the tower fell to the ground, yet the students were excited about their accomplishment. Way to work hard and work together, Birch friends!
