First graders first thought about the rocks they brought in to build their walls. Some rocks were different colors, shapes, and sizes. Each of these factors would affect the structure of their walls they designed. We practiced classifying the rocks into different groups.
Then, with their rocks and mortar mixtures in hand, first graders were eager to begin designing their walls. Spreading their mortar mixture atop and around the rocks they collected, walls were being erected left and right.
Thanks to everyone who collected rocks! We had many different shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, just like Yi Min found for her wall.
