Houses with Kinder and 1st grade

Kindergarten and 1st grade worked hard to build creative, sturdy houses out of recyclable items.  Truly turning trash into treasure!  We studied structure and the importance of planning and starting with a strong base.  Then they were left to their own creativity!  They had to work as a team to build a free-standing house.  After they finished it was time for the big test day.  We tested the homes against earthquake (a pan of jello) and tornado (a fan).  If the houses collapsed, they rebuilt them stronger.  I'm so proud of their creativity, teamwork, and resilience!!
