Care Corner Photo Journal – Volume 2
We have these Chinese blocks in Care Corner. I got them for part of our World Explore program and to connect us with Tim. The intent was to help them understand Chinese characters, maps and symbols. The purpose was to enrich our World Explore program. Every group that has used them in January (while we explore Asia) has worked to make the map, or match the characters or form the dragon. But today’s group had a different idea. It had nothing to do with China or culture or matching. It had to do with building a tall tower and using teamwork for balance and fetching blocks and putting the last one on the very top. And when you see their smiles and their excitement and their amazing teamwork, it’s then you realize that sometimes first graders have their own intents and purposes.
