Instructions
1. On the first day of school before the children arrive, start building a castle
with blocks.
2. Place the remaining blocks in a small laundry basket next to the castle you
have started.
3. As each child arrives, ask her to grab a handful of blocks from the basket and
add them to the structure.
4. After every child has arrived and added blocks to the Welcome to School
Castle, ask them to stand in front of it. Use the camera to snap a memorable
picture!
