Dino Rocket

"Dino Rocket, Dino Rocket," I heard a group of children chant.

They had made a rocket using magnetic blocks and they wanted to keep it. I helped them put it onto the (Handwriting Without Tears) blue mat, put it on the small table and leave it out on display.

The Dino Rocket stayed there over night. The next day it was broken.

It has been built again. And the group of children at thinking about building it right onto the small table.

A flexible classroom environment means that furniture can be moved around and used by the children for what they need.

Yarn Trap

The yarn was used to make a trap.  It was tied to a picture frame and a basket. Each was positioned on shelves across from one another.  The children had to go "under" the trap to get to the carpet for whole class time. There was a lot of sharing of ideas, problem solving, and use of the positional language "over" and "under" and "around".
