What educators are saying

First-if you don't know the story The Big Orange Splot, its a must read! This activity took days to complete which was great to use while I was testing students one-on-one. It was also great for working on motor skills. We saved the house for Open House. The parents thought the houses were cute.
This is one of my favourite books! My students and I enjoy doing the activities and our discussions afterwards.

It's time to get back to hands-on learning. Integrate STEAM, Writing, and Literacy in your classroom during the first week of school or on the First Day of School!

Help students get to know each other better with STEAM! Your students will love designing, building, and writing in their unique and personalized Big Orange Splot House!

This activity is super easy to implement. Just print the house templates and let students begin designing and building their houses! Put them all together for an All About Me Neighborhood.

After the houses are complete, students do a gallery walk to look at their classmates' houses and write down what they learned about each student.

The perfect back to school STEAM activity and a perfect display for back to school night!
