Rex's friends keep trying to build awesome things. But....Rex wrecks it. Every. Single. Time. IT makes everyone sad. They have to solve the problem. Their first solution didn't work. But their second solution........
The concept we were learning was that we can't just wreck things. We can ask "Can I wreck it?" if we can wreck it. Our friends could say yes or no. If they said yes, we could wreck it together.
Miss Carrie brought out blocks. (Really leftover boxes, some covered in colorful duct tape. Instant BIG blocks!) We built things. We discovered that if we worked together and pooled the blocks, we could build BIG things!
Even teachers had to ask if they could wreck it. If someone said no, then no one could wreck it. We noticed that if we did not ask, or if our friends said No and we wrecked it anyways, that our friends were sad or mad. We learned to wait. It was so much fun to wreck things together.
Psst - We learned that 'wreck' means to knock it down.
DO THIS AT HOME: Build things together and practice asking if you can wreck it. Remember, if the answer is No, we can't wreck it.
