Building Supplies

We have cereal boxes everywhere!  We had cereal boxes stored in  the closets, on shelves and every nook and cranny we could find in our classroom.  The MWF classes helped move all the boxes to the 'construction site'.  On Thursday afternoon, I created the base of the fort.  On Friday, the MWF classes helped with two of the walls but we have a lot more work ahead of us this week.  The children also estimated the number of boxes (this is something you could do at home, too).  

We built our first fort in 2009 but I did not record the number of boxes we used.  In 2010,  we used 270 boxes http://metamoracommunityprek.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-impenetrable-cereal-box-fort-part.html

In 2011, we used 282  http://metamoracommunityprek.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-impenetrable-cereal-box-fort-version.html

Last year, we used 215 http://metamoracommunityprek.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-impenetrable-cereal-box-fort-version.html

My Impenetrable Cereal Box Fort Version 5.0?   I will let you know later this week.  Hint-we have already glued 188 boxes together, have more walls to build and lots of boxes left!
