Thanks to Beaty, Roberts, and Abrams for allowing me to share this story.

Architecture is such a fun way to interact with the world. With each building, we get to look at the history of what was happening when it was built, the people who built it, the stories they told, where they lived, how they lived, what elements they used in construction (physical and stylistic), how they put them all together, and what influences the design.

For some brilliant architectural creations, look for the Bilbao Guggenheim, the Djenné mosque, Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge, Chartres cathedral, the Taj Mahal, the Dubai tower, Angkor Wat, the Forth Bridge, the Sydney Opera House, Eiffel Tower, Chaco Canyon, Machu Picchu, Valle de los Caídos, and the Sears Tower.

There are many others, so if you think of a good example, please post it below.

  • loved it :)

  • I loved it. I'll be sure to share it with my class. Loved the book too. What a great "anticipatory share" before lesson time. The collaboration by the production team was terrific. I'm going to the publisher's site to let them know that I think sharing books like this is a great way for kids to become excited about literacy. L. and I were talking about doing something like this on our school website. Maybe you can share some pointers. Enjoy the sun!!

  • That's a great start E.R., quick transitions, good camera handling, great quality. Thats an awesome vision you have keep up the good work, also, no child left behind is the root of all dumbness in today's youth. Its good to see you still keep education on high priority, good day to you sir.

  • Hey fun family,

    Love it! Text, pictures, reading, and child cameo of course.

    So fun. I am going to the publishers' site now.

    Great job. :)
