2nd grade OPEF lego project

In coordination with Oak Park Education Foundation, students in second grade art reviewed what they had learned in their home rooms: types of communities-urban, suburban and rural. We discussed what the similarities and differences are between the three communities in terms of population, housing and land use. Students worked in groups of two or three and chose to build a a building from either urban, suburban or a rural area. Afterwards, we photographed all of the projects, because they were going back into lego buckets and took colored photographs and created a gain lego city, lego suburb and rural lego ville by drawing roads, trees and cars in our communities.
