Building the City

Kindergarten has started their Building the City Unit which is extremely hands on and fun. We spoke about various things we see in our city ie sign, skyscrapers, smaller homes, schools, libraries, light, parks, etc. We also spoke about people who help build a building and what is needed ie plumbing, electricity, architects, blueprints and more. 
Below the children learned that not all buildings look alike or are made from the same things. Some are tall, small, made from bricks, wood, cement and more!
The children worked in small groups and used teamwork to come up with a home they designed. After we all walked to each group to see what was built as the team described how they came up with their ideas.
