Buildings
Buildings
This week we started our investigation of buildings. This unit has five investigations that we will explore. The investigations offer the children an opportunity to learn more about the characteristics and features of buildings, the people who build them and the tools they use, and the role buildings play in our community. This week we talked about what we know about buildings and what we want to find out. Most of the children were very interested in what it takes to make a building. We also talked about what buildings in our city look like.
The first book we read in the building unit was The Three Little Pigs. Before reading, we had a discussion on what materials are used to make buildings and the children got to use tallies to show what type of material they thought was best to make a house and explain why.
