The Snail

We spent the afternoon hanging out on the hillside. One task that the boys are always trying to complete is to successfully climb up the snail and ride on his back. This has been a challenge both boys have faced and today L figured out a way to get on! 

"Ms. Jill, look! I did it! I got on the snails back and I am going to ride him to the slime store!" 

We both cheered in his success for reaching the top of the snail. I had to know... how did he do it? 

"I just put these two things on top of each other and then climbed up! It was easy! I will show you again."

But, before L could show me how he got up, he had to come down... a much more difficult task. 

"Whoa! That was slippery and kind of tricky. I don't think I should go down like that. I fell off! It's okay, I'm okay. I will show you how to do it."

Success!! L did it again! There is so much problem solving that happens daily at the preschool, but this felt like the biggest victory today.
