Haitian Houses

Submitted by Mary on Tue, 01/17/2012 - 1:19pm

We learned about the economic struggle that Haiti has endured and talked about how many people still do not even have permanent housing and those that do often live in a very small house. We had a space in the back of our room that was approximately the size of one of these houses and that helped the students to be able to conceptualize just how small that space was. I wanted to do a Haiti house project and just came up with an idea one day when kids were throwing away their milk cartons, to put 2 of those together to make one house. We used paper mailing tape to join the boxes then we used Bordet to represent the metal roofs that the luckier home owners were able to have. Next we got out lots of fun Caribbean colors and just painted them to make little Haitian houses. Sorry my photograph is such poor quality. I took it at our spring show and at that time never planned on having my own blog. This year I am trying to do much better.
