Building! Building Building!

Construction Time

During Jesus time we have been learning about Noah's Ark. Noah was a godly man who followed all which God told him to do. Evil was all around and God decided to destroy the world and rebuild again. Yet God kept Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives safe, along with two of every animal. God told know how to build the large Ark.

 Our class took to the idea of building things. So we started with the basic plan, a blue print. We talked about how everything we have was built with a layout, blue print or plan. First they each made a blue print of what they wanted to build.

The next day our project was put on hold as we headed across the street for our first trip to the Magic House. 

Our book for this visit was Walter's Wonderful Web, the story of a spider trying to build a strong web. After trying out a square web, they went on to try different shapes such as a rectangle, triangle, diamond, and circle. In the end, he realized they would have to use many different shapes to make a strong beautiful web. 

After our story with Mrs. Linda, the class was able to explore the different activities that were set up for us.

Building a Zoo! 

Such teamwork! 

We had a playground visitor.

Along with our butterfly whisperer.

The first step of our project was to do a trail run by doing some trail building. Exploring the different shapes and how they could put them together. 

While building was going on, the writing center was also going strong.

   

Our class was given a challenge: build a deck box for our playground.

First Step: Get it out of the box.

Next:find all the pieces.

Teamwork helps put the box together quicker. After they got the sides together, next came time to use the tools. They were so excited about this part. 

Putting the deck box together was just the kick off for our building day!

Let the building and gluing begin!

Cat Party Friday!
