Can I Wreck It?

This week Miss Carrie read the book Rex Wrecks It by Ben Clanton.  In the book, Rex keeps wrecking everything.  Wreck means to knock something down or break it. The group in the book has a problem with that and comes up with two solutions. There was a lot of RAWR-ing in the book.  We had fun talking about how the characters in the book could solve the problem.

Then Miss Carrie brought out boxes to use like big blocks.  We could build things together.  But, if we wanted to knock it down or wreck it, we had to ask "Can I knock it down?" Friends could answer yes or no.  If they said no, we had to wait.  Sometimes waiting is so hard!  Friends felt bad or sad or frustrated if their blocks were wrecked and they didn't want that to happen.  It was a good thing to practice.























DO THIS AT HOME: Pull out boxes or blocks, build, and then practice asking first to wreck it.  Talk about your feelings if someone wrecks it before you said yes or no.
