The Building Blocks of Life in the Octopus Room...

The block center officially opened on Monday. It was my small group lesson for the day. We explored how to play, previewed two books (blue prints) that could spark an idea for a building, discussed the rules and safety when using BIG blocks. Each group got a chance to explore creating with blocks and how to clean up once the clean up song was played. It was amazing to watch what they created and how quickly they have adapted to the routines in place in the classroom!
