1st Grade Enrichment
Our 1st grade enrichment group recently wrapped up a unit on Cinderella. We read several different versions from Ireland, Scotland, Russia, and the U.S., then compared the main characters and plot. Then the students were challenged to build Cinderella a castle to live in, complete with a working drawbridge. Check out our finished product below!

1st Grade Enrichment
Our first grade enrichment group has been hard at work reading several different versions of The Three Little Pigs. We compared stories, then made a plan to build a house to withstand the Big Bad Wolf. We learned about engineers, then developed questions, made a plan, created a house, tested it, and improved our design. For our first design, the students chose a bag with mystery materials, then were challenged to build a house using only what was in their bags. This was a good way to learn about building materials and design. The kids could use the materials of their choice for the second design. Ask your child if his/her house held up against the Big Bad Wolf!
