Fairytale castles!

We have been busy! So busy...I haven't been posting in a while! Well, I am back with some photos! We are exploring Fairytales, so this has brought about building our own castles made from boxes and paper! These groovy kids are really into it! They love building and creating! I love how focused they are! 

This little person made a wall mounted bird cage inside her castle!

This little lady made a complete set of furniture for the inside of her castle.

Apparently this castle was scary and haunted!

This castle builder was so focused! 

This builder eventually made a moat and knights around his castle. 

This builder was creating an Owl castle!

The children and I created a rubric together so we could decide what makes up a "Mastery" castle. Everyone decided together and everyone knew what the expectations were. It was interesting to see which kids were working towards mastery and which kids didn't really care and got more caught up in the creating!
