What can we learn from a Lego?
Can we learn to play?
Can we learn to share?
Can we learn count, or sort, or match?
Today we put out various materials, broke into smaller groups and played. We noticed very quickly that our giant tub of Lego was a very desired space - almost everyone chose to engage in the giant tub of blocks. Students played together, they played near each other, some even moved to the carpet to give themselves more space.
A few things we noticed:
Lego can help us learn to negotiate our needs.
Lego can inspire us to learn more or ask questions.
Lego can help make a new friend.
Play isn't just important to learning, play is how we learn. What amazing things can happen when we sit back and LET THEM PLAY?
And because these Birch Room friends are just the best - here are some fun pictures in our new Hillside space.
