The Panorama of the City of New YorkBuilding Blocks, guided experience and activity
This tactile building project gives students the opportunity to examine the interconnectedness of the city through learning the key components of each borough. They will collaboratively design and construct temporary three-dimensional communities using wooden blocks on fabric outlines of the five boroughs.

Homes Around the World
Our 1A friends picked homes from around the world that they were interested in learning more about. They researched about the environmental and cultural factors that influenced the building of the homes and recreated these homes! In the travel poster, our 1A friends showed all the types of homes in the country, the materials typically used to build homes, environmental factors in the country, as well as a map and fun facts regarding the country.
