This past week was an exciting one for the kindergarteners. The students were so invested in creating their very own 3 Little Pigs House using recycled materials that they identified, gathered from their homes and brought to class.
This activity started off by listening to a classic children’s story, “The Three Little Pigs”. Then on Tuesday, the students individually created their blueprints for their houses. The next day, they got into pairs and teams. I made them present their own plans to each other and by Thursday, they were told to finalize their projects. On Friday, May 18th, they went full throttle and got their hands on their recycled materials to create their models. After all their hard work, building, rebuilding and finalizing, they ultimately got to present their products to the entire class and to a special guest, Mrs. Wartak, our Speech Therapist at Cash. Everyone was able to test the excellence of the designs by trying to emulate the huffing and the puffing of the Big Bad Wolf. It was a beautiful sight to see the sparkle in my students’ eyes and the smiles on their faces when they found out that their “house” is durable enough to endure the Big Bad Wolf’s destructive huffs and puffs.
