The Tallest Tower

Building the tallest tower is always appealing. This time we had borrowed the magnetic blocks from the classroom next door.

The tower was so tall that stools and chairs were needed to stand on to add blocks to the top of the tower.

There was talk about the different highs of the chairs.

Mathematical language, communication, cooperation, physical development.

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".
