The same materials from my documentation conundrum were on a table today, along with photographs from T's work. When I asked her what she was doing in the photos with the cylinders and the rubber bands she said, "putting it together". She did not come back to the materials, but the children who did used the photos as a jumping off point for their constructions. Some paired in colors, like T; others made new combinations. No one had much to say, but their actions spoke loudly.
