Second graders have been working as architects and designers creating houses. They start with a sketch of the interior, filling four rooms with furniture and detail. They add a little color to plan out each room.
When they finish their sketch, they fold a piece construction paper to create the interior and exterior of their house. On the inside, they use a ruler to create four rooms and a staircase. They design each room using a pencil and then outline their drawing with sharpies.
They add color to the interior using construction paper crayons. These crayons are specially made for construction paper. They show up thick and vibrant. Students use at least one different color for each wall.
When the interior is complete, the students design the exterior. They cover the house by repeating a pattern. Some students use bricks, blocks, and different types of lines. They use the a color sharpie that matches their house to make the pattern blend in. The students cut out windows, cut and fold doors and design a roof and a chimney. When all the different parts are finished, they construct their house.
