I am so proud!

Shape Cities

   In some ways this felt like the project that would never end. We started collecting materials back in January. Then, we were out for snow TWICE, and it just took us forever to get back into the routine and get this done.

  That being said… the children did a phenomenal job with their shape cities. The children made some buildings out of construction paper (with a little help from Mr. Del), and they made others using the boxes and containers you sent in from home. The results are amazing!

   Each table group got a sheet of poster board and materials. They drew 2-D shapes on the buildings like triangles, circles, squares, and rectangles to be doors, windows, and signs. They drew and cut, and I taped and stapled. Then, each group got to name their own city. One is named Raleigh. Another is Downtown Raleigh. One is Virginia. One is Florida-Georgia, and the last one is New York City.

   They did such a great job that I asked Mrs. Hale, the school media specialist, if we could display our cities in the library. She was delighted to show them off. When you have a moment, please stop by the Joyner library and see your child’s hard work. I will also try to post some pictures of the children’s cities to this blog.
