The View From our Window - Second Grade Observations of Playground Progress

When we came back from Spring Break, we were surprised to see how much work had been done on the playground!  A lot more of the structure for the climbing towers had been built and more dirt had been moved.

During the week, we saw that they were using the cement mixer to mix cement for the stones that will be the pathway from the backdoor of Lower School.  It made a lot of noise and smoke.  We had to keep our windows closed because it smelled!  They were also doing some welding on the towers for the climbing structure.

Last week, we saw a machine that carried rocks with a strap and they made a wall just outside our window.  Sometimes they had to use a saw like a chainsaw to cut the rocks so they could fit together.  Then they put dirt around the rocks.  We also saw a dump truck bring sand and dump it by the hill.

This week, they started building platforms on the tower structures and putting netting up around it.  They are also putting dirt under it and moving other dirt around.  There are new wooden sticks to mark something, but we are not sure what! We will keep watching!!
