Little Pig Houses

Today the kindergarten students were tasked with building houses for a fourth little pig.  We researched houses around the world.  We saw yurts, houses carved from stone, towers, and even an upside down house.  Then we planned our own houses.  First the kids decided which materials they would need, then they drew their house and finally, they constructed their houses.  There were several redesigns today.  One group tried to make the upside down house, but realized quickly that would be hard to hold up.  Their houses had to be big enough for a toy pig, protect the pig from the wolf, and withstand the wolf trying to blow it down (or Ms. Roper's hair dryer).

We will test our houses tomorrow and share our results.
