Kitah Gimmel went to the upper playground and noticed a set of very large plastic pieces scattered around the playground, different shapes, sizes and colors. Many of the children were drawn to it. These children walked over to them, touched them, moved them, climbed them and even turned them. “It’s a big puzzle!” was overheard. Using their cognitive skills, the children then examined each piece closely for its shapes and details, where and what could ‘fit’. With motor skills, they experimented moving them around, adjusting and readjusting them to fit together. With their social skills, they were communicating to their friends what they needed, listening to what their friends were saying, and encouraging each other as well.
“We did it!”
Teamwork is defined as “the combined action of a group of people, especially when effective and efficient.” I’d say that is exactly what our children showed here!

Gathering the pieces.
Trying it out, while we add on more.
Getting it built.
Taking turns.
Cheering ourselves for building this!
Everyone gets a turn.
