The Fourth Grade, in their reading,
have been studying Castle Life. Af
ter reading several stories describ
ing life in a castle and having
learned the different parts of a
tie and the significance of each, the
class decided that they would like
to build a castle.
To begin, the class drew their
plans, using the pictures and stories
that they had. After the size and
shape were decided upon they list
ed the parts of the castle and ma
terial needed for each part. The
class decided to construct the castle
of gray bogus paper, because it re
sembled stone. The pupils worked in
groups on the different parts.
After each part of the castle was
completed, the parts were assemb
led on the sand table and the castle
in the moats to resemble water.
The boys, because they thought
the project incomplete without
shrubs and grais, added these.
When the castle was completed.
