The Rattletrap Car

We started the school year reading a great picture book.  It was called the The Rattletrap Car by Phyllis Root, illustrated by Jill Barton.



We worked with a peer to make a rattletrap car out of 2D shapes. We talked about the what was similar and different about our cars.
Some had circular wheels while others had hexagonal. We used rectangles and squares also.



We used the shapes to trace around and draw our car onto paper. Come and visit our class and look at our cars, they are on the wall!

  3. Hey Room 2,
    I absolutely adore the cars you made, they look fantastic. You guys must of really worked hard on these because it shows. Try reading a boat book and create a boat. I will try to pop in your class because I'd love to see your cars. Keep the creative work up.
