In the Bunny Rabbit class, the children have opportunities to build with a variety of materials. Here at the beginning of the year, we are giving them the chance to explore only one type at a time. This allows the children to learn about each material and its options (and how to put it away!) without interference from other building materials. You can see three options in these photos. Mason told us he built a horse house with some small farm blocks. Simon and Kade built roads and drove their cars on their roads made from huge blocks in unusual shapes. Noah built the big house from traditional blocks and fully described each part of the house including where water drips down the roof. In a few weeks, we will begin combining materials. You'll be amazed at some of the creative structures the children produce. Basic principles of architecture begin in preschool!
