Today, when I arrived at her preschool to pick her up, she was in the middle of a major project. She was building with some magnetic squares that she has played with many times. It was the end of the day, and most of the kids had already gone home. Tessie was at a table alone, with the magnets in front of her, just starting to build a house. She was totally engrossed in her project so I gave her a five minute warning and let her know I’d be back after I got her brother.
Getting Christian’s things together took a little longer than I expected. I left him with a friend and ran back to Tessie’s class to get her. I was greeted by a giant building and a beaming Tes. She had built the most remarkable structure. The magnetic squares she was using are not the easiest things to work with, but she had managed to build an extremely symmetrical and large structure. I was so impressed with her engineering skills, it’s not every day I see such a beautiful building.
