Buildings
Ms. Kilkenny’s class is learning all about Buildings. Why investigate buildings? Children are very curious about buildings. They want to know about how they are constructed and what people do inside of them. Buildings are everywhere in our community and this week we took a walk around the Goodrich neighborhood to look at all of the different kinds of houses.
We were trying to answer 2 questions. Are all window rectangles, like in our classroom or could they be other shapes? And the 2nd question- can houses have more than one door?
The answer is yes! Windows can be ovals…
Or semi-circles…
and we even found octagon shaped windows on a house with 2 doors!
The students recorded their answers.
We also saw other interesting features of houses like balconies…
The students went back to the classroom to draw their favorite house. I think there are some future architects in the class!
