Second Grade's Green Dollhouse





Inspired by our All-School Unit theme of the Environment, the second grade has been making a "green" doll house since the fall. Everything that has gone into this house comes from materials that are recycled from some other purpose. Walls are decorated with paint left over from other projects. Thread spools are now chairs. Plastic pieces from inside pizza boxes are now tables. The roof is tiled with acorn shells and a plastic food container has been put to good use as a greenhouse. There is even a dog house and swimming pool!

Read the article about the doll house that recently appeared in the Daily Local.

The green doll house is on display for tonight's Science Fair, a perfect setting for you to see our second graders' creativity and inventiveness for yourself!

More on the Science Fair tomorrow . . .
