Week Six: Shelter/Habitat/Home Completed!

Hi Families!

We are happy to share the results of our Shelter/Habitat/Home constructions. Each student gave consideration to the environment by including 1 or more of the following green options: building with reuse items and/or local materials (such as tree bark, sticks and stones), installing solar panels, planting a vegetable garden, etc. 

A nice surprise was how the children created narratives along with their shelter/habitat/home. Each one has a story to tell. Please take a look below. Also, for additional information about this project, visit September's blog post, Week 5: Shelter/Habitat/Home at
