elephant city

Building can be a quick task or it can be more deliberate, intentional and complex. Today is an example of the latter. One cool thing about team work is the collaboration and language that is taking place. Many ideas coming together. Negotiations and compromise are a must. It usually starts out with a few children building, then others join in and add their part, and then before you know it you have an elephant city or a skyscraper. (They couldn't quite agree on what it should be called).

The process is important.
Each piece has its place.
Deliberate. Intentional. Complex.

Getting there. But not quite ready.

I was ready to take the picture
and then a child decided it needed more...
so the orange cones were added.
This is when the discussion of what
it should be called was occurring....
Team work. Collaboration!!
