MASSIVE Train Track

"Transportation" was our theme of the week and today we got to build a massive train track in such spirit. The students worked on collaborating with each other to come up with a plan, and then each one of them got to input something special and unique to the over all activity. We had some leading the construction efforts, some engineering safe bridge crossings and tunnels, and others learning how the pieces even fit together in the first place. No matter what level each child is in their learning process, we are a community of learners that scaffold together to work on any given project. 

Some of the Colorado Early Learning and Development Guidelines targeted include: 

• Initiative and Curiosity: An interest in varied topics and activities, a desire to learn, creativity, and independence in learning. 
• Cooperation: An interest and engagement in group experiences. 
• Drama and Theater Arts: The portrayal of events, characters, or stories through acting and using props and language.
