Mango and Jelly's Play Space--Final Part

The students were very concerned and helped Jelly through her haircut, but she was fine! We talked and realized we need to make a few changes: 1) Make sure the tape was really down 2) Make ramps so they could go up to the next levels  3) Give them some friends because they were a little shy  4) Put in some signs so they (Mango and Jelly) as well as other people would know what was going on. 
The students brainstormed signs for food bowls, tunnels, a big sign for the whole play space.  The students also decided to make friends out of clay for the guinea pigs to feel more comfortable in their new space because “everyone needs a friend!” Some students decided to give the play space some paint. Pictures and notes were drawn for the pigs and new parts for the play space created.









The students were happy with their changes, and with what Mango and Jelly did during their next exploration! They are now in the process of designing a relaunch to our project….they are making an imaginary world for Mango and Jelly to explore using sticks, clay, and pebbles!  The play space continues to be revisited (both by Mango and Jelly as well as by students who want to add to it!)
