During our market theme several students began pretending to work on our classroom.  Our sink in our dramatic play center needed a new pipe so a few students became plumbers.  Our table was broken and needed a new leg so another group of student decided to be "fixer men" and fix it.  Before I knew it the students had started a construction theme without any prompting from the teachers.  Due to the student interest we decided to implement a construction theme in our class.  All of the students are invested in the learning and it couldn't be better.  We call this type of planning student lead.  It's my favorite because when I lesson plan based on student learning and make sure we hit the standards in all the learning centers based on their interests even more learning takes place.  Here are just a few photos from our student lead construction theme.  We have a pendulum serving as a wrecking ball in our science center, tools and wood in our dramatic play, a variety of new blocks in the block center,  and we've kept a kitchen in our other dramatic play center but added a few baby dolls.
