  Journal entries of students on the field trip:

 

 

 

 


Students in Vermont started making models of ancient buildings using recycled materials, toothpicks, hot glue and candy.   We will write up our findings next week.

This student is working on an ancient Australian building using toothpicks and hot glue.

    We think that it is cool that you took field trips to places that we don't have in our country. It is cool that you drew their buildings and that you filled out information about them. We will write more of our background history when we build our buildings. Are you going to build models? What materials are you going to use?

    It is great to see the creativity in creating the models - we look forward to learning the history of the buildings. We had the plan of building models only for green buildings, but not of ancient structures. However, one of our green building models made completely by a student has turned out to look like an ancient structure, proving that the ancient buildings were truly green buildings! We will share the images of the models in the next two days.
