Putting the Houses to the Test


The class put their houses to the test today as we used a hair dryer to blow down their creations.  All but three houses stood firm.  We discovered the houses attached to a foundation were the ones that stayed up and those not attached fell down.  Then we started working on "How To Build a House" stories.  The kids were charged with coming up with a warning for their directions.  Some of my  favorite warnings were, "Don't forget your foundation," "Don't ruin your plan," and most importantly, "Don't let the wolf blow down your house."
