Community: Building Houses

When asked what community helpers they're curious about 

Tyreese wanted to learn about people who fix houses and 

Oliver wanted to learn about people who build houses.

 

Using a web to organize our thinking I told a story of a person who wanted a house built.

They contacted a contractor who organizes all the people who build houses:

the excavator, cement layers, framers, roofers, electricians, 

plumbers, dry wallers, painters, carpenters, carpet layers and more!

The children were impressed "That's a lot of people!" 

Indeed, a lot of people working together, a community of workers!

A time lapse video showed the whole process from start to finish.

We went for a walk in the neighbourhood to look for construction workers building houses.

This construction site is at the beginning stages.

How did the excavator dig that big hole!
