The KDH City

KDH children continue to enjoy playing in the block area. They build houses and rockets and race the cars along the streets on the riser and down ramps that they set up. We continue to set up provocations to help them "go deeper" in their exploration. Today we put up pictures of Atlanta's skyline, a post office, fire station and a Publix and the Midtown Trader Joe's. We handed out large pieces of cardboard and some boxes. We asked the children if they would like to draw and create their own city.... They thought about it, took out markers and began......

Jonah is designing a building shaped like a rocket.
Felix made a skyscraper with snowflakes on it.
Alex drew his home and took wire from the art center and attached it. He explained, "This is the electrical wires."
Eden drew a home on a box with windows cut out. She opened the box and drew the people and pets inside. They can be seen when the windows are open.
Menny created a police station and wrote,"police," on it.
Dovi's box is going to be our fire station. Dovi stamped Firehouse on it and put a pole inside for the firemen to slide down.
Theo's masterpiece is the inside of his home. Mia's home is shown with the family. Max also chose to draw his house. Motty drew on both sides of his cardboard and Luba's home has windows too. Sholom is drawing his house.
KDH's city will have entertainment, as Nadav is creating a a circus tent.






We will continue to plan and build our city. It will serve as a backdrop to the project that is planned for Donuts with Dads, this coming Monday.
