Date: 12/08/13

Lenny spends a lot of time on playing in the Block corner. He sits on the floor and plays with other boys. When the educator asks him what they are making, he says, we are making jail. They build a small jail and place wooden people inside. When being asked why they put these people inside the jail, he says, because they are very naughty. Lenny and other boys work collaboratively to build a jail. When it is almost done, Lenny says they need to make a bigger one. So he knocks down the jail and tries to rebuild a bigger one. One of the boys is a bit upset. However, after they discuss about what they are going to do, they turn attention to help each other again.
