For our second session of the year, we covered the topic of SKYSCRAPERS.<\/p>\n

\n

We learned about the two inventions that made the first Skyscraper possible:<\/p>\n

\n

We talked about how Skyscrapers\u00a0are constructed:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

We discovered that a Skyscraper’s foundation can be 4<\/strong> floors deep:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

And we discussed\u00a0the first, the most famous and the tallest skyscrapers:<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0First Skyscraper – the Home Insurance Building<\/strong> <\/em>in Chicago<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 Most famous Skyscraper – the Empire State Building<\/strong> <\/em>in New York<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 The tallest Skyscraper – the Burj Khalifa<\/strong> <\/em>in Dubai, United Arab Emirates<\/p>\n

\n

Then it was on to the PROJECT<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Here are some of the buildings near completion.\u00a0 The children ran out of time so we are inviting them back to finish their projects!<\/p>\n
