The window building

This was sent today from kindy, a daughter to be proud of.

Lilly:  "It's decorated windows"
Eva:  "we did it, it's beautiful"

I think this is the tallest and longest building I have seen built at kindergarten.  Eva and Lilly spent a long time working together to create this magnificent construction. Balancing the blocks was a little tricky but they worked together and did it!

Eva and Lilly showed many Habits of Mind....persisting - creating, imagining, innovating - taking responsible risks - thinking interdependently.  Essential life skills.

Habits of Mind is knowing how to behave intelligently when you don't know the answer.  It means having dispositions toward behaving intelligently when confronted with problems, the answers to which are not immediately known. Costa and Kallick.
