Talk About TinkeringTinkering open play is a great chance to talk with your kids about trial and error and failure. Experimenting helps kids develop logic skills, important for daily life, not just engineering. Some good open-ended questions to ask:

• What did you design?• How does it work?• What parts were harder than you expected to design /

draw / build / make ?• Does this look and work like what you thought it would

when you started? Why or why not?• What would you do differently next time?• Every kid can be an engineer, it just takes trying! As Rosie’s

Aunt Rose said, “The only true failure comes if you quit.”

Maker Monday!Oct 2014 PreK

Today's Maker Monday experience had to do with height. Prekindergarten students were asked to use various kinds of blocks to try to build a "tall" tower. They were asked to think about what their base should look like in order to create a structure with height. Students experimented with various size and shape blocks. They discussed what happen when their creation fell down. They revised, redesigned, and rebuilt! Way to go!!

• Maker Materials Wanted!

• We need your help! We are trying to stock our closets for our maker lab sessions, so please be on the lookout for the following household items. Please do not go out and buy any of these things, but if you happen to have them sitting around needing a new house, send them our way. Much of our maker time is open ended creation and experimentation, so if you come across something cool that you think we could turn into something else (even if it is not on the list), send it in! Thank you for your help!
