A construction zone!
In the fall and early winter, the Trees Class saw so many construction projects around the school and the park. When we got back from Christmas vacation, we looked at all the movies teachers took of these projects and were inspired to start our own construction projects, and drama was the perfect place to work ...
Safety first! Helmets on ...
... neon vest next!
Goggles are a have-to to keep our eyes safe ...
(and fashionable).
We use tools carefully, learning about each one ...
working together...
to create amazing structures!
Some things that have been built:
A house
A mouse house
A castle
A fortress
A road
A boat
A road
A boat
The children's real-world experiences and observations have informed our play, which has transformed our classroom, which has directed our learning. Next, the children will decide on a final building project and present their work.
This is the emergent classroom at work.
We are construction workers!
We are builders!
We work together!
We are having so much fun!
