5th Grade Pop-Up
Haunted Houses
Crafty fun for fifth
grade! For Halloween, fifth grade students created spooky 3D haunted houses. As
a class, we cut and folded the basic shapes for a house and then added pop-up
features. From there, the ideas for the houses were entirely up to the
students. I gave them some guidance with regards to the décor and design of
their houses. Some questions I posed to the students included:
What is in your spooky
yard? Pumpkins, graveyard, or scarecrows?
What or who is flying
through your sky? Witches, bats, or howling werewolves?
What or who is
in the windows or doorways of your house? Zombies, ghosts, or spiders?
From here, my role was to simply guide the students, help answer questions,
and facilitate any ideas. I was very impressed with some of the students’
ideas, including the opening of windows, pop-up werewolves, and individual
shingles.
