Box City


The local city hall was kind enough to display one of our group sculptures last summer. Through that opportunity, we decided to work together this past school year to bring a really fun opportunity to our second grade students. Students in second grade were studying how cities changed over time. City Hall workers came during their social studies time and presented some photographs of how our city changed over time. They talked about city zoning and important buildings every city needs.With me in art class, students built milk carton houses. The next week, they worked in groups to create buildings every city needs. We all came together during second grade specials to build our city. It was a great opportunity- it was even featured in our local news!
