The kindergarten students listened to the Story, Iggy Peck, Architect. After we read the story, the students determined that architects build buildings. Later in the week, the students worked in groups to select a famous building from around the world. The architects then recreated the building with wooden blocks. As the students built the buildings, they practiced cooperation. Finally, the students created blueprints of their buildings, towers, and walls.

The kindergarten students are practicing cooperation in the STEM lab. Cooperation includes sharing, being friendly, taking turns, listening, and including everyone. The mini figure challenge reinforced all of these traits. Mini figures are so much fun, and it really was a challenge to cooperate as they sorted the pieces, and put them back together!
For the next few weeks, the kindergarten students will be learning about cooperation, and putting it into practice. I used these videos to capture the student's attention as I introduced cooperation. Following the videos, the students described the attributes of cooperation, and discussed it in teams. To practice, the students were given a challenge. They received five minifigures, and had to cooperate as they put them back together.
