"An illustrated story."

Every Thursday, the children had cubes that could be arranged into simple sculptures. Inventively recreating spaces they knew, they would “see” the forms with their fingers and craft the furniture of the gymnasium and schoolroom. They also told stories like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, building everything from the table to the broken chairs and differently-sized beds. After creating and feeling these objects, the students would “draw” the forms on their cushioned tablets.
