Third Grade Shelter Projects
As part of the third-grade curriculum, students explore shelters from around the world, studying their cultural origins and significance. Each student selects a shelter to research, writes a detailed report, and then constructs a model to bring their learning to life. Finally, they present their projects to the school, showcasing their hard work and creativity. Featured here are some incredible shelter projects from Ms. Frazee’s third-grade class—great job, students!
