So this week I decided to take a break from the paint and since we were learning the letter T, I thought it would be fun for them to build some type of tower out of stick blocks. I put the blocks in one of their centers and let them get creative. Some of them turned out really good and most of them had so much fun doing it; notice I said most of them. I was doing something with my reading group and when I looked up I noticed that one of my little ones, was just kind of sitting there. He had blocks in his hand and had discovered that he can make really cool noises while moving them, but NO Tower had been built. The bell rang to switch groups and when he got to my group next I asked him why he didn't build a tower. His response: "well.....I tried......but it was truly to hard." It wasn't that he didn't want to, or that he was tired...oh no....it was truly to hard. I mean how can you even get mad at that?? :) So my plan for the upcoming week(and hopefully Adam will not read this lol).....I think when it comes to laundry and cooking and whatever else comes up...it is going to be truly to hard! I'll let you know if it works for people over the age of 5!
