This is a simple lesson I taught to my 1st graders. I only spent one 50 min. class on this project. In retrospect, I would have taken two days. I think the results would have been better.
Step 1: We looked at pictures of James Rizzi’s silly buildings (as I call them) 
Step 2: Each chose a colored piece of paper and cut it into an interesting building shape. Some students made a pop out door. They glued their building on a 9x12 piece of black paper.
Step 3: We added details using construction paper crayons (I first demonstrate how these crayons work on black paper compared to regular crayons. The kids are always amazed.)
Step 4: Lastly, I gave the students sequence and foam shapes to add to their buildings.
I love your new blog background! Looks great! Very cute.
ReplyDeleteI love how you made these 3-D by adding the foam shapes. Very cute.
