The Artic Via Santo Elementary
Since we have been back at school from Christmas break, I have been an igloo builder and a teacher! I asked my kids and their parents, other teachers, and my friends that are house parents at the Foster's Home in November to save gallon jugs for the 6 feet in diameter igloo! Today as I crawled in it once more to add more jugs, I realized that it goes up to my shoulders! I am going to estimate there are 200-250 gallon jugs hot glued together with more needed to close the hole in the top! I have been doing the gluing while the kids play and watch during free center time. They have been "oooing" and "ahhing" all along!! We have done many fun igloo and Eskimo activities to go along with the igloo building!

How FUN!! I wonder if I could get away with building an igloo in 4th grade math?
Looks great wife!
Amy, you could do some kind of formula to figure out the size and with and try to find out how many it would take to build, and then do it. Then you can figure out how much liquid can be held in the jugs. Just trying to help.
How neat! Hope your students and their parents realize how luck they are to have you for a teacher!
I know they are enjoying your creativity.

Very fun, I would have loved that in fact I know someone in my house right now, that would love to crawl in that thing and do some destruction.
Les,
