ExchangeEveryDay Past Issues

The Learning Moments video clip "Breaking to Build" demonstrates these points:

• Teachers know that an environment can be seeded to generate more creative play by using familiar objects in new ways.
• The children know that building a racetrack under a row of chairs creates new challenges and fun. The children deliberately create difficulty.
• The boys realize that breaking down a block structure is not the same as breaking something that cannot be fixed, such as a clay pot.  The parts are simply rearranged.
• The boys are aware that a structure of blocks is not the same as a pile of blocks.  The child near the structure most likely made the structure and needs to grant permission for the undoing of the structure.
• Dusk understands how to motivate his friends by using a clear statement of the goal, even when he cannot come up with the name by himself.
