While we were learning our Texas history, we worked in groups to build replicas of "the cradle of Texas liberty": the Alamo!
We laid out cardboard.
We measured.
We drew up a grid. (This was Mrs. Alaniz's way of having us learn more math!)
Then we painted and assembled.
(Mrs. Alaniz cut the bigger pieces for us.)
Along the way, we learned about topics such as: area, architecture, and teamwork.
We had to plan our steps to get everything right.
We were very proud of our work! Here's what they looked like when we were done!
What did you like about this project?
That was a very fun activity. I loved building in school! Our group had fun as we went along with it, laughing at every turn. Our Alamo turned out very nice.My blue trees got voted off the project, but it was still a great learning project. I hope next year is just as fun!
ReplyDeleteI loved making my Alamo! It was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteIt was so rewarding for me as a teacher to watch my students work and problem-solve together. The Alamo is a Texas treasure, and I hope all of my students are inspired to learn more history.
