To transition from our first trimester unit on line to our second trimester unit on shape we did this project incorporating both elements. I've been wanting to use the cute book by Linda Ljungkvist for awhile, and this lesson was perfect.
After reading the story students chose geometric shapes to use for a house, planned their composition and glued them with a glue stick. I had different sizes of rectangles, triangles and squares pre-cut for them to choose from. Then they drew details using a sharpie marker. This kept them very engaged, and as always they all came up with interesting stories to go with their pictures!
