Unifix Cubes - What happened?

No directions....just linking cubes on a table.....

"Look at this helicopter I made!"

Some intermediate students wanted to send this message:

 

I was having a hard time sticking the cubes together to make the  letter S.  A boy suggested I place the letters on the table first to make the shape and then click the cubes together last.  
I found creating letters his way easier and faster.  

The learning commons is about everyone learning together.  
A good teacher-librarian can create situations 
where students are the teachers.  
Children need to see adults learning too.
