In The Classroom: Building a City
We have been working on a long term project in the classroom. We are building a city! We first started by talking about different projects the children were interested in, they chose to build a city. We then talked about what kinds of things are in a city, fire station, roads, the boat harbor etc. We then discussed different names for our city, narrowing it down to five and voting. Our city has been named Rainbowdash Homer Alaska. After the name was chosen we started talking about maps, what goes on a map; we then drew our own map of Rainbowdash Homer Alaska. Children have been covering tissue boxes with white paper and then decorating them to become stores, houses, barns and airports. We put together two tables and our city is beginning to take form in 3D, ask your child to show you our city or tell you about it. Everyone has played a part in this long term project and it will continue to develop until the end of the year.
