The children have been talking at length lately about building something to make shade. I asked the children to build a structure to block the sun. Details are in the last post. The children used materials they were familiar with. Today they made official plans for their permanent structure. But I made it harder...
Instead of using block area materials, they were only allowed to use the materials on table:
They felt, built with, and put together the materials briefly to get a feel for how they worked. Then I asked the children to make plans. This helped me understand they types of materials I needed to provide.
