Dear Mulberry,
There were some new colorful blocks over in the making and creating space. They’re made out of a different material than our other blocks. I wonder if you noticed the differences between these blocks and our other blocks.
I noticed several of you discovered them. I saw you building towers. The towers grew taller and taller. I saw you create another kind of round building with the triangles. Two of you were working on creations side by side.
One got frustrated as part of their tower fell and knocked down the other’s. They explained and apologized. A third person came to build too. They wanted to help. Both of you wanted to work on your own tower. I felt like playing with the new blocks and wanted their help.
We started with round columns and went high, and they fell over. We laughed. Sometimes, the falling over is part of the fun. Sometimes when you’ve been working really hard on an idea, and it doesn’t work. The blocks fall down, and aaarrrgghhh! I just want to smash everything.
Love,
Teacher Michelle
