Following up on inviting more ideas into Crosby’s and Kayden’s original station design in the Building Space, Chase, Mica and Emilio joined the work the next day.
Kayden: This is the station.
Mica: Look. Look. I added this here.
Emilio: It’s a city now. This is a city.
Crosby: Yes, it’s so big.
Mica: Here are animals.
Kayden places a block and part of the city falls. Kayden smiles.
Mica: OH!
Teacher Adriana: We can repair it.
Emilio: We are not finished. I want to save it for tomorrow. We can work together on it.
As the children spend more time together and their structure becomes more complex, they begin to support one another with language that invites other ideas and collaboration. – Teacher Adriana
