Welcome back Korbyn! Seemed like


it’s been ages since the last time i
saw you. I thought that this is just
another story of someone putting
something in the kitchen area. But,
when you started to bang the
window of the kitchen with the
wooden block that you were
holding, I know that you are up to
something.

“Korby, what are you doing?”, I


asked. “I am fixing this!”, as you
pointed to the top of the ktchen. I
asked why you need to fix it and
then you said that because it’s
broken. Oh yeah, right! I wondered
if you are helping your dad fix
things at home too and so I
curiously asked. But then you
said, you dont help dad because he
does it all by himself. Oh well,
maybe you could help me to look
for some broken things at the
centre and we could fix it.
We found ourselves in this corner as we look for some
of the things that we could fix. What can we do with these
domino blocks. You had such brilliant idea when you said
that you would like to make a house out of it. And you
started to lay down the foundation of the house. You
started with two blocks at the bottom and then carefully
put the ‘walls’ on the side. You made sure that it could
stand and hold another set of blocks before putting them
on top. And Just after a while, I saw you holding this
piece of yellow block that you were using a while ago in
’fixing’ the kitchen. “Hammer, hammer, hammer”, while you
used this block to hammer the dominos. “Are they ready
korbs?’, I asked. And you responded with ‘not yet!’ while
putting another set of blocks on top of them.
Unfortunately, your tower has
fallen down but I did not see you
getting frustrated about it.
Instead, you took all the blocks
and started rebuilding the tower.
I love your determination Korby!
It’s nice that you have that drive
to finsih what you have started
and you do not mind those little
disappointment coming your way.
You have always been looking
always at what you can do about
the situation rather than things
of what you did wrong. I cant
wait to see more of you building
other stuff.
ANother day at the centre. Good
morning korbs! When I started my
day today, I spotted you at this
corner. My attention was caught by
these cubes that were stack on top
of each other. And you were
continuously adding some more. I
got curious and so I asked. You
told me that this is your house. You
continue sharing some of the parts
of your house which has its chimney
and door. The bedrooms are all in
the middle part of the house. I
wonder if this is similar to your real
house. hmmm.
What learning has happened?

Korby, construction has always


been a major interest of yours. You
like building towers and houses.
You like the idea of fixing and
hammering. But As I have observed
you lately, more than the interest, I
noticed that you have always been
the kind of learner who sets a goal
for himself and work towards it.
The distractions happening on the
side dont bother you at all. You
Work and show that you can rebuild
something that has already been
destroyed. I love that kind of
attitude and I hope that you continue
to be like that. Because you know
what Korby, life is lived by that. We
need to always look at the brighter
side of things. Maybe the thing that
you have constructed has fallen
apart but I think it happened because
you know for yourself that you
could make a better one next time.
Building his own house…

The journey continues. As you were playing at the block


corner, I thought of challenging you if you could make a
house that can fit you. You looked around and spotted
these long wooden blocks. You stopped and planned on
what you would do. Immediately after, I saw you starting
to build something, ofcourse with your little hammer. I
felt the enthusiasm and the confidence that you could do it
all by yourself. And yes you did it Korbs! Look what you
have built! I am impressed!

Korbyn, there’s no doubt that you are so confident and


independent. You took the intiative to learn the things on
your own. You epxlore the ways on how you could be the
teacher of your onw learning. You took pride in the things
that you do. You have started from just fixing something in
the house and now you have extended into making your own
little house. I could not be more proud of you. I know
Korby that you can do more things. I believe in your
abilities and I want you to continue believing in yourself.
Well done Korbs!
