This morning during free play, a few children decided to build a school in the block center. While building many of their classmates decided to join in the building process. At different points during free play there were eleven children all working together to create the school. They discussed and divided up jobs. They created a list of the different rooms in the school. A lot of attention went into the music room. Some children were the builders and others used clipboards to make notes about the school building. During davening, Rabbi Grossbaum taught the children the term architect, when the children shared that they were building a school in the blocks. The work on the school continued throughout free play time.
