My House Is Me and I Am It

Ms. Walters' students read a wonderful story by Daniel Manus Pinkwater called "The Big Orange Splot." After a seagull dropped a big splot of orange paint on his roof, Mr. Plumbean used the splot to redesign his house to show the world what his dreams were.

After reading this story the students thought about their dreams. They created a house to show something they dream of doing or being someday. They wrote about their houses and then illustrated them in KidPix.

As Mr. Plumbeam said, "My house is me and I am it. My house is where I like to be and it looks like all my dreams." Read about the dreams of these terrific fourth graders! Just click on a house!
