GeoCities



A real testament to a class being able to do group work are projects that require the children to work together. Such was the project this morning.  The students started by naming and planning a city. The class brainstormed buildings they would need in a city and then each table chose a name and then decided on and drew the specific buildings that they would need in their city.
 
Next the children used geoblocks to build their city.
The finished products were delightful.  The children had built museums with water fountains, roads, theatres, Chets Creek, Infinity gymnastics, skyscrapers, restaurants, airports...  Each city was as unique as the builders themselves.  Below are some of the projects.  Each group shared their project with the class and then walked around all the other projects.  Finally the children voted for their favorite city - lots of awesome choices!
