Grades 1-3, Earth Houses

Students in 1st-3rd grades were inspired by images of earth houses in America. They were asked to imagine what materials they would use to build their house, where would it be located, and what important possessions would they take with them. Next they made earth houses using pinch pot technique, cut out door and window shapes, then added textures to represent their building materials such as grass, shells, recycled objects, stone, etc.
