Construction Week Building

Today we read the story "The Three Little Pigs" during read aloud time and then we built houses using sticks and bricks. We talked about different building materials and tools you might use as well! I challenged the students to think deeper by asking questions about how to make a house sturdier to stand up to the Big Bad Wolf just as we read in the story. They did a great job thinking of a variety of ways to build houses and how to improve them!

It was a good time! Enjoy the pictures below and have a great weekend!  I also added a couple pictures I snapped at recess and then one of the 4th graders having their safety talk with Mr. Veit! We go over drop off and dismissal procedures each year to remind students how to be safe on the big flat.
