Block play is such an essential part of early childhood education. The open ended possibilities allow for true collaboration, negotiation and creative expression.
Amitai loves the blocks and will often choose them during free center time. This time he created a structure that intrigued most of the class to come join in. They quickly fell into place as different character in the elaborate game.

As they played here are some tidbits of the conversation;
Amitai- "We can put this here so it can go across".
Bryna- "Let's put this block here".
Amitai-"Everybody let's do some more and you can help me".
Ziva-"We can help him".
Laylah-" His puppy is lost and wants the other puppy".
Amitai to Josie-"Look how huge the bridge is"
"Maybe I could be the daddy and you could be the doggy".
(part of the structure got knocked down)
Josie-"Amitai do you want to build it again?"
Amitai-"Yes, i am".
Ziva-"I want to help"
Josie-"Maybe we need a rainbow".
Amitai-"Yes, now let me put it in'.
Cassidy-" Saw and saw it, anyone need some wood?"
Kemp-" We already have wood."
Ziva-"I want to order, wood."
