One of the things that first graders will be learning this year is the difference between geometric shapes and organic shapes. Geometric shapes are those math shapes with names we all learn: triangles, squares, rectangles, etc. The students used various pieces of paper to create their houses. We looked at a lot of interesting architecture and Victorian style houses for inspiration (the students oooohed and aaaahed!) Then we added brightly colored paper "candy" and white paint splatters to put our houses in the season. We also used silver markers for our "icing!" The houses turned out so amazing, they look good enough to eat!
