Egypt in our Classroom! New Block Center

To help bring the story to life, we turned our block center into "Egypt"

(we saved all those coffee & Tea Boxes from the Purim Shuttle to create this fantastic center!)

We placed real bricks INSIDE some of the boxes -to offer the children an opportunity to experience the "heaviness" of the bricks. 

Some boxes needed more than one child to lift!

 We offered "costumes" of garments the Jewish people might have worn while they were in Egypt.

 How tall can you balance the bricks?

 Working together...to create complex structures. Pointed on the top...to represent the pyramids...

 Asking taller people to help make the tower taller...

 

Working hard to lift the HEAVY bricks!
