As part of our "children from other lands" unit we have been exploring attributes of our lives as children that are the same and different when compared to children from other parts of the world. We have talked about clothing, foods, and celebrations. Yesterday we took a closer look at homes and buildings from different places. The children broke into teams and looked at three different types of structures, Asian inspired, Russian inspired, and Middle Eastern inspired. We examined how the buildings looked alike and different and then attempted to build some structures. They found this team challenge very exciting (be it a true challenge). They did a beautiful job noticing the hard edges and curves of different types of buildings and comparing them to our sky scrapers and traditional American homes.
