The Tel Aviv practiced balancing today with the tree cookie blocks. We talked about in order to building something that is stable we use large pieces on bottom and work are way to smaller blocks on the top. It is nice to have stable things to build but it can also be fun to try to create things that are naturally unstable and then try to makes the blocks balance on their own! Molly made a castle for her block that her mom made at curriculum night and Micah Rosin made a seesaw! Blocks can teach us so much about physics and science just through our own exploration.
