Over the past few weeks, our second grade students have been designing and preparing to build fairy houses. We learned that building fairy houses is a tradition that has its roots in Maine and that they are constructed from natural materials that are combined in interesting ways to create shelters, furniture, gardens, and other features that might entice a fairy to stop by for a visit.
One of our second grade classes got outside to build their houses last week, while a rainstorm led to the other class having to build theirs this week. The following photos illustrate what a difference that week made in terms of weather and access to another natural material for fairy house building!
