For this unit, we read classic fairy tales and then the students challenged themselves to build something from that would help one of the characters from that story. For instance: they built things that would help the man and the woman catch the gingerbread boy so he wouldn't get eaten by the fox; they built things that would help the bears protect their house from goldilocks coming in and destroying their stuff; they built things that would help the cow jump over the moon; etc. I encourage you to do this type of thing with your child at home after you finish reading any story. We used Legos and other building supplies in class, but you could use recyclable items or any type of building toy you have as well. They are so super creative!!
