2nd grade creates the GREAT WALL of China!

2nd grade is learning about China.  During art class we talked about the Great Wall and how it was built in sections over many centuries to keep out the nomadic tribes of the north (later known as the Mongols).  I talked a bit about Mongolia and my experience working and traveling in the country as a Peace Corps Volunteer.  Students are working in small groups to create a section of the Great Wall. Later we will attach each child's wall to create a large and very long "classroom" Great Wall. Here are some finished works from Ms. Isaacson's class.
