May is all about BUILDINGS

For all of May we have been studying buildings - their structures, their characteristics, differences, similarities, what makes them strong/weak, etc. We've been learning about different tools and materials that we use to build buildings.

We also learned about the 3 little pigs. We talked about how the pig with the brick house has the strongest structure.

We taped straw, sticks, and bricks to our wooden blocks in order to build the 3 little pigs houses. We also made puppets out of popsicle sticks.

We graphed what kind of houses we would build

We practiced drawing stairs, windows, and doors at out easel.

We measured how many houses tall we were.

We also built and explored building houses with plastic cups
