Let's learn some Physics!






You may not think of building with blocks as a way to learn physics, but you would be surprised how much we discover in constructing with inclined planes and cylinders. Today the Rainbows had a blast creating towers, tunnels, and houses. Sam G. found a clever way to be part of his block creation! They experimented with different kinds of bases to see what worked best. They built taller and taller towers until they toppled.

The children are learning to respect each other's buildings. It's okay to knock over your own creation, but not someone else's.
