MJ Marvelous Marbles and the race to the finish.

MJ has had an interest in the marble run in the classroom, and today we brought it to M&M club.
With the quiet of the library and less background noise MJ focused  on all aspects of the marbles actions.
The marble run gives MJ lots of opportunities to refine his fine motor skills as he places the small marble at the start of the run. Problems also occurs when the marble track has a broken area. But Mj's focus allowed him to solve the issue and repair the track.
This activity has given MJ the opportunity to develop tracking as he focuses on the marbles movements, This will help MJ and his development in the area of reading and writing.
We can develop this activity further and allow more problem solving and tracking opportunities, using other objects and resources to create tracks.
