Oh, and following the rules. Here are the building centre rules the students came up with (read by FM):
We are lucky to have our school district's lending library send us new building materials every month. Here's some things we've built over the past few months:
NH and RL found the magnetic blocks would stick to the radiator. They made a shelf for the balls. |
Lincoln Logs
DD made the letter B
|
KD's airport with airplanes |
Megablocks
RM and KD made an elaborate castle with a village inside |
The dice are the people |
KL and LP make structures out of wooden sticks and modeling clay |
"I made a blue, blue house. Then I had a car in there and a suitcase and two chargers and two Ipads," F.M. |
KL and LP used pattern blocks to make furniture for the stuffed rabbit. A bed, toilet, and dresser. |
Even numbers can be used to build! |
KD made homes for animals using wooden blocks, cotton balls, and rocks. |
NH's tower of wooden blocks |
For the month of March, I challenged everyone to not only build structures, but to draw and write about them as well. After a while, we had enough drawings to create a class book.
The Castle "Hanging on the Castle is a bird house. At the top is stop" by LP |
by AV |
by RM |
by KB |
TY and SA decided to make the longest line of blocks they could. It was a challenge to draw!
Here's the finished product:
"Tower World" |
